How a TINA.org Reader Tip Led to a Record Penalty for False Made in USA Claims
FTC says civil penalty against Williams-Sonoma is “the largest ever in a Made in USA case.”
In November 2014, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Whole Foods Market for allegedly misbranding Blue Diamond almond milk products. Specifically, the complaint alleges that Blue Diamond Refrigerated Almond Breeze Original Almond Milk and Blue Diamond Refrigerated Almond Breeze Vanilla Almond Milk misleadingly bear the Non-GMO Project Verified label, which indicates that the products do not contain GMOs, when they actually have not been verified by the Non-GMO Project and do contain GMOs. (Richard et al v. Whole Foods Market California Inc., Case No. BC563304, Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles).
