SAN FRANCISCO (Legal Newsline) Welch Foods is facing a class action alleging its fruit snacks are falsely labeled as not containing any preservatives when they contain chemically processed ingredients as preservatives.
A frozen food company that sells licensed Welch Foods Inc. fruit products went behind the juice giant's back and broke its license agreement to sell competing products in an effort to squeeze Welch's royalties, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Massachusetts federal court.
