Breyers Delights Ice Cream

In May 2018, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Unilever for allegedly deceptively advertising Breyers Delights ice creams. Specifically, plaintiffs allege that the company misleadingly markets the products as “light” or “low-fat” ice creams when, according to the complaint, the fat in the products does not come from a dairy source, as federal regulations require for ice creams. In addition, the complaint alleges that Breyers Delights ice creams contain certain ingredients (soluble corn fiber and erythritol) that make the products chill at lower temperatures, more likely to crystallize after freezing, and have a different texture and melting rate than other ice creams. (Condon et al v. Unilever United States, Inc., Case No. 18-cv-2977, E.D.N.Y.)
