False advertising lawsuits in the food and drink space are popping up everywhere:

The food and drink industry is facing a swarm of class action lawsuits
  • In June, Post agreed to a $15m settlement for marketing sugary cereals with healthy claims.
  • McCormick is facing a $3m settlement for advertising artificial ingredients as “natural.”

Elsewhere, one lawsuit claims Frito-Lay’s “hint of lime” chips don’t actually contain limes, and another says TGI Fridays’ “onion snacks” have no onions.

(Related: Check out this hilarious parody about how companies came up with the term “all natural.”)
