A woman is seeking $US5 million ($6.7 million) from Kellogg, the Sydney Morning Herald reports. She is accusing the cereal maker of misleading customers into thinking its strawberry Pop-Tarts contain more strawberries than they actually do. “It’s among a wave of lawsuits alleging Big Food is labelling its products in ways that make them seem healthier than they are, as consumers show greater interest in knowing where their food comes from and how it is made,” the newspaper article read. “The suit, filed on October 19 in the Southern District of New York, is the latest in a series of class-action suits against Kellogg Sales for variations of the same allegation, namely that it misrepresents the ingredients of Strawberry Pop-Tarts in marketing and packaging to sell them at a premium price.”
