A false advertising class-action lawsuit was filed against Core Formulation alleging that its protein supplements – including those sold under the brand names Core Formulations/CF, Core 8, IsoCore, APEX, Biohealth Precisions ISO, and Rogue Nutrition – Rogue Whey – do not contain the represented amount of protein.
