A woman is suing Kraft for $5 million, saying that since its Velveeta Shells & Cheese Microwavable Shell Pasta takes longer than 3-and-a-half minutes to prepare even though its packing states “ready in 3½ minutes,” that constitutes fraud.

Ramirez says that since Kraft’s Velveeta Shells & Cheese Microwavable Shell Pasta takes longer than 3-and-a-half minutes to prepare even though its packing states “ready in 3½ minutes,” that constitutes fraud.

In the suit, the mac and cheese’s five instructions that appear on the product packaging are listed, from removing the lid, adding water, microwaving it, then stirring in a powder cheese sauce into the resulting cooked pasta. “Consumers seeing ‘ready in 3½ minutes’ will believe it represents the total amount of time it takes to prepare the Product,” the suit reads. “However, the directions outlined above show that 3-and-a-half minutes is just the length of time to complete one of several steps. The label does not state the Product takes ‘3½ minutes to cook in the microwave,’ which would have been true.

I hope the judge makes her pay for ALL court costs and legal fees. Some people are just dumb. She probably doesn’t know how to operate the power setting on her microwave or just has an underpowered one. She must not know anything about higher elevations, cook time may take longer.

Woman sues Kraft Heinz, claiming Velveeta Shells & Cheese ready time is misleadingA Velveeta mac and cheese lawsuit against Kraft Heinz claims the ready time for Velveeta Shells & Cheese is misleading. Nooooooo!!!!! I would say, ' get a life,' but for her it is evidently impossible. What lawyer would take this case. Here’s how I see it. 1) who cares how long it takes to make a snack. 2) the microwave she is using the same power recommended on packaging 3) some people are out for a quick buck.
