Kraft Natural Cheese Products
In July 2020, a class-action lawsuit was filed against The Kraft Heinz Company for allegedly misleadingly marketing Kraft Natural Cheese Products as natural when, according to the complaint, the milk used to make the cheese comes from cows that were given an artificial growth hormone to increase their milk production. (Koh et al v. The Kraft Heinz Company, Case No. 20-cv-4425, N.D. Cal.)
