Baron and Budd Lawsuit Accuses Alexia Foods of Mislabeling Natural Products
(BUSINESS WIRE) — Baron and Budd has filed a class action lawsuit claiming that Alexia Foods misrepresents its products as “All Natural” when they actually contain synthetic chemicals.…The claim states that Alexia Foods, a ConAgra brand, intentionally misleads customers by making false statements about its food that violate state and federal laws. Alexia places the “All Natural” label prominently on their products despite the fact that they contain disodium dihydrogen pyrophosphate, an industrial chemical additive, the suit states. Cases like this are a focal point of Baron and Budd’s mission to protect consumers from deceptive advertising.

Last year, the Baron and Budd firm helped negotiate a $410 million settlement with Bank of America for consumers that forced BoA and many other financial institutions to change overdraft fee policies. The firm is also involved in uncovering online scams and other financial issues.

ChemicalFreeLife.tumblr.com says: We are thrilled with this lawsuit and the possibility that Big Food may finally be held accountable for intentionally misleading consumers with their “all natural” claims. Since the FDA and the FTC choose to turn a blind eye to these practices, perhaps a little litigiousness will inspire food manufacturers to stop their deceptive practices.
.
Remember: If you want to avoid synthetic food chemicals skip products that have the “all natural” claims. Look for the green and white “USDA Certified Organic” label which will be prominently displayed on the product label.
