Kraft Fat-Free Deli Meat

In February 2013, a federal appeals court affirmed the dismissal of a class-action lawsuit filed against Kraft Foods and Hormel Foods in 2011 alleging that the companies misled consumers into believing their lunch meat products  contained fewer fat-calories than they actually did. One reason for the dismissal was that plaintiffs’ allegations weren’t strong enough to make out a legal claim.  (Brad Kuenzig et al. v. Hormel Foods Corp. et al., Case No. 12-11180, 11th Cir.)
