Consumer Files Mislabeling Case Against Sargento Over Antibiotic-Free Cheeses
December 22, 2020
California resident Quynh Phan filed a class-action complaint Monday, seeking equitable relief and damages against defendant Sargento Foods Inc. regarding its ostensibly deceptive labeling, marketing, and sale of more than three dozen dairy cheese products. The Northern District of California lawsuit claims that Sargento dupes consumers into believing that its cheeses are made without the use of antibiotics, when in reality, they use milk from cows that are treated with antibiotics. Thus, the plaintiff argues, the “No Antibiotics” labels affixed to packages mislead consumers because some cheeses do contain antibiotics.
