Kellogg’s Pop-Tarts Lawsuit Was Dismissed After Claims of False Advertisement
In a court ruling Friday, the Honorable Andrew L. Carter, Jr. said Kellogg’s strawberry representations “are simply not deceptive.”
The lawsuit was filed in late August by Anita Harris in the U.S. District Court Southern District of Illinois East St. Louis Division against Kellogg Sales Company.
In the complaint, Harris claimed that Kellogg’s company leaders “give consumers the impression the fruit filling contains a greater relative and absolute amount of strawberries than it does.”
Harris pointed out more Americans are eating strawberries because it’s “one of the highest levels of nutrient density of all fruits” and “‘an excellent source of vitamin C,’ necessary for immune and skin health.”
