Apple Removes Featured Watch App 'The Whole Pantry' From App Store Amid Fraud ClaimsApple has removed the award-winning healthy eating app
The Whole Pantry from the App Store and its featured
Apple Watch apps page amid allegations that its creator Belle Gibson committed fraud, according to
The Sydney Morning Herald. The report states that Gibson is accused of making false claims about her cancer diagnosis and failing to donate thousands of dollars collected during fundraisers to charities.

Apple has removed The Whole Pantry from its Apple Watch featured apps page</center>
Apple had been promoting
The Whole Pantry as a featured Apple Watch app on its website over the past week, although it has updated the page today to remove the listing. The app also appears to have been pulled from the App Store worldwide, based on spot checks of the United States, Australia, Canada and United Kingdom storefronts. The company has yet to comment on the matter.

The Whole Pantry was featured on the Apple Watch apps page earlier this week</center>
Gibson is a 26-year-old from Melbourne that rose to fame for healing herself from terminal brain cancer without conventional treatment, although the report claims that she later admitted to possibly being misdiagnosed. She has since been the subject of intense scrutiny from her supporters and those that donated to her cause, and has disabled the Facebook page for
The Whole Pantry and her personal Instagram account.
