Lawsuits allege foods and beverages aren’t as healthy as you might think.
A false advertising class-action lawsuit was filed against Herb Thyme Farms, a California herb-growing company, alleging that it falsely labels herbs as “Fresh Organic” when, according to plaintiffs, some of the packages contain herbs that are not organic.
