Ezekiel 4:9 Breakfast Cereals
April 2019: The case was voluntarily dismissed When a complaint is dismissed with prejudice, it cannot be refiled..
January 2019: A class-action lawsuit was filed alleging that Food For Life Baking misleadingly markets Ezekiel 4:9 breakfast cereals that are made with “sprouted organic live grains, legumes, and seeds.” The complaint claims, among other things, that the company misleadingly:
- Compares its breakfast cereals to other cereals that are made using non-sprouted grains and whole grains without identifying the other cereals being used in the comparison;
- Represents that its cereals have decreased levels of antinutrients (which reduce the body’s ability to absorb nutrients) because the amount of antinutrients in other similar cereals is also low; and
- Represents that its cereals provide benefits from a “living food” when, according to plaintiffs, any nutritional benefits are gone after the sprouted grains have been dried, made into flour, and heated.
