In this week’s legal ruling round-up, notable decisions within the food and consumer packaged goods sector continue to be highlighted. One case which stands out is Stephen Dunn, et al. v. Ancient Brands LLC, No. 5:21-cv-00390-LEK-ML, where the Northern District of New York granted the defendant’s motion for judgment on the pleadings of a class action.
In this case, the defendant’s bone broth products were alleged to falsely advertise “20g Protein” on the front label, despite the protein source in the products being largely collagen—a substance known to contain low protein amounts. However, the defendant’s motion was granted due to the class action failing to establish its burden.
These notable rulings signify an ongoing trend of scrutinizing labeling accuracy and truthfulness in the food and consumer goods sector. Such cases have considerable implications for both the corporations involved and the wider industry, shedding light on crucial regulatory and legal issues these sectors face.
For legal professionals working within the food and consumer packaged goods industries, keeping abreast with these recent rulings can be invaluable for navigating complex legal challenges and developing stronger regulatory and compliance strategies.
