February 2014: A federal judge preliminarily approved a settlement of a class-action lawsuit filed against Trader Joe’s Company for allegedly mislabeling its food products. Specifically, the complaint alleges that its food products – including Chocolate Vanilla Creme Cookies, Jumbo Cinnamon Roll, and Buttermilk Biscuits – are labeled “all natural” or “100% natural” when they actually contain synthetic ingredients. According to the settlement terms, class members with proof of purchase may receive a full refund while class members without proof of purchase may receive refunds for up to 10 products (for a maximum claim of $27-$39.99). In addition, the company agreed to no longer use the disputed labels unless or until the law changes. (Larsen et al v. Trader Joe’s Company, Case No. 11-cv-05188, N. D. CA.).
