Kellogg’s sued over strawberry pop-tarts for not enough berries
(WVUE) - According to TMZ, the breakfast food giant is being sued in a class action for misleading consumers about their famous breakfast pastries.
A New York woman, Elizabeth Russett is leading the class action lawsuits against Kellogg’s, claiming that the fruit filling in Kellogg’s whole-grain frosted strawberry pop-tart is filled with other fruits.
The lawsuit states that the pop-tarts are heavier on pears and apples rather than strawberries. The suit claims Russett insists it’s not enough to provide the berry’s nutritional benefits, let alone a strawberry taste.
Russett says Kellogg’s uses their packaging to get over on consumers who want to enjoy a breakfast snack with strawberries. She also says the damages exceed $5 million and also wants to see the packaging labeled accurately.
