Gerber Good Start Grow Stage 3

In November 2020, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Gerber alleging, among other things, that it misleadingly markets Gerber Good Start Grow Stage 3 (a transition formula for toddlers aged 12 to 24 months) as nutritionally appropriate for toddlers when, according to plaintiffs, the product contains more added sugars and less protein, carbohydrates, and fat than what is recommended for toddlers. (Gavilanes et al v. Gerber Products Company, Case No. 20-cv-5558, E.D.N.Y.)
