The Rise of ‘Bait-and- Switch Pricing’
Emily Stewart, Business Insider
Jelly Belly Sports Beans
A false advertising class-action lawsuit was filed against Jelly Belly Candy Company in February 2017. The complaint alleges that the company lists “evaporated cane juice” as an ingredient in Jelly Belly Sports Beans when the jelly beans actually contain sugar. The lawsuit was transferred to federal court in March 2017. (Gomez et al v. Jelly Belly Candy Company, Case No. 17-cv-575, C. D. CA.)
