Judge Orders Kraft Heinz to Face Mac & Cheese Lawsuit Over Additives
A federal judge has ruled that Kraft Heinz must face a class action lawsuit alleging it misled consumers by claiming its Kraft Mac & Cheese contains no artificial preservatives. The plaintiffs argue that the product includes synthetic citric acid and sodium phosphates, which act as preservatives, contradicting the label's claims. The judge found the allegations sufficient to proceed, though the plaintiffs cannot demand new labels as they are now aware of the alleged deception. The lawsuit seeks damages for fraud and violations of consumer protection laws.
