Pic: GettyImages/AVN photolab In 2016, two of Post Foods’ customers filed the lawsuit in the California federal court alleging that Post had mislead the American public with statements on the labels of its cereals suggesting they were nutrient-dense, healthy foods. Plaintiffs Debbie Krommenhock and Stephen Hadley filed the false advertising class action lawsuit, alleging the cereals actually contained a high sugar content. The defendant denied all allegations of wrongdoing and maintained its stance that the claims on its packaging were true. The court also did not arrive at a definitive decision that either party was correct, however, Post agreed to a $15m class action settlement. The cereal producer also agreed to remove certain statements from the labels of its products.
