Yoga Bar leads by 0.6% over The Whole Truth at 31.3%, with the vertical splitting cleanly by engine: The Whole Truth wins Gemini at 42%, Yoga Bar wins AI Mode at 40%.

The move

Yoga Bar holds rank 1 at 31.3% (-2%) and The Whole Truth ranks 2 at 30.7% (-2%), both losing citation share from the previous edition, with the gap between them at just 0.6 percentage points.

The vertical splits by engine: The Whole Truth wins Gemini at 42% (rank 1), while Yoga Bar wins ChatGPT at 28% (rank 1) and AI Mode at 40% (rank 1).

Soulfull is the biggest mover, dropping 3.3% to 10% and falling from rank 5 to rank 7 across all three engines, with no source-pool entrant or sentiment shift explaining the decline.

What it means

At 31.3% leader share, healthy snacking is the most fragmented vertical in today's index, with no brand cited in more than a third of answers.

The near-tie between Yoga Bar and The Whole Truth is an engine-alignment story: Yoga Bar holds the overall rank because of AI Mode strength while The Whole Truth owns Gemini, and rank leadership here is engine-weighting-dependent rather than structurally stable.

Soulfull's drop to rank 7 has no identifiable mechanism in the source pool or sentiment data; treat it as sampling variance until it repeats.

For operators in this category, the low leader share means publisher diversity matters more than in any other vertical today, and broad editorial coverage across multiple source types is the most defensible strategy.
