Lawsuits allege foods and beverages aren’t as healthy as you might think.
In February 2015, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Urban Accents, Inc. for allegedly falsely labeling its Ginger Carrot Cake Flapjack Mix as “all natural” when it actually contains sodium acid pyrophosphate, a synthetic chemical. (George et al v. Urban Accents, Inc., Case No. 1522-cc00479, Circuit Court of City of St. Louis, State of Missouri).
