Woman claims strawberry Pop-Tarts don't have enough strawberries, sues for $5,000,000.

"Whole Grain Frosted Strawberry" Pop-Tarts also contain pears and apples as fruit filling, but you wouldn't know that from the label, a lawsuit contends.Kellogg is being hit with a multimillion-dollar lawsuit alleging its"Whole Grain Frosted Strawberry" Pop-Tarts are deceiving consumers, failing to warn them that strawberries are not its only fruit filling ingredient.

A similar suit was filed in August in Illinois. Spencer Sheehan, an attorney based on New York's Long Island, is representing both women. “Consumers deserve to know that when they see something labeled as ‘strawberry,’ it mainly contains strawberry,” Sheehan said. “Words have to have some meaning.”Under Food and Drug Administration regulations, products must not be labeled in a false or misleading way. But some legal experts who represent food and beverage companies in advertising and regulatory litigation don’t think the strawberry Pop-Tarts are mislabeled.

Ivan Wasserman, a managing partner at Amin Talati Wasserman, who represents consumer products, agreed. Several food-makers who claimed their products were “100 percent natural” when they contain high fructose corn syrup changed their package claims following class-action lawsuits in the 2010s. The legal questions prompted the FDA to clarify that any product made with HFCS where the corn syrup comes in contact with synthetic enzymes cannot be labeled as “natural.”

Oh come on, how much, how many strawberry’s did they promise? Are you also checking the peanut butter, making it sure it is ALL peanut? How about jams what’s real fruit and what % is artificial flavored fructose ? Be wise lady, make it your self if you want 100% and real.

🤣🤣🤣

I want to sue the news outlet for not having enough news that I care about.

I´m thinking about suing some networks for the 'fakenews' some spread. I´m thinking of starting off with the ones claiming people are take horse de-wormer for starters.

This is why people hate Americans

Wait until she finds out it's not real strawberries...😂🤣😂🤣😂 2nd lawsuit...🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Americans love to picked fight to go to court with them.

Wait until she finds out that the food at Panda Express doesn’t contain any actual pandas

You can make these, and you can add so many strawberries they pop out of the sides!

Aren't they just syrup and sugar anyway?

The lawyers are happy to take the case. 40%, cha ching?

😳😂

You should know when you put this garbage in your body that it doesn’t actually contain real fruit. 🤦‍♀️

WTF! Is she going to sue because 'Children's Tylenol' doesn't have enough children in it?

Yet another incident from the ONLY in America files!

Girl scout cookies don't have any girl scout in them, i want $10,000,000. We can settle for some thin mints and samosas though.

is it too late to join her?

In other news: Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy are not real.🙄

Thanks to Pagan Reagan's 'War on Education', 'Ketchup is a vegetable'🤣🤣🤣 jeez can't get over it What shape of Slick Willie's dick did MSM miss? All these and more...

Wait until she finds out about Special K

Word of advice for Ma phuqking Kettle. Stop buying strawberry poptarts, develop your own goddammed recipe, attempt to market them, and EARN your pathetic own living!!!

I dont see any claim on the box regarding how many strawberries are in each Pop-Tart, so how can there be not enough? I haven‘t had a Pop Tart in 20 years.

Someone clearly has too much time on their hands

😂😂😂😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂She thinks pop tarts have real fruit?! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lawyers taking these cases should be disbarred.

I should sue cookie crumbl for not having a cookie that caters to my milk and egg allergy.. *sarcasm* I aint got time nor the energy for non sense. This lady wildin'

Ridiculous- dont settle with this money grab.

😂😂😂 OMG REALLY?🤯🤯🤯

Seriously?! Duh! I can’t believe people do stuff like this!!!

She gonna win cause they gonna settle. False advertising. Next up the FTC should get involved

I like them the way they are. Just enough strawberries. If she wins and they change their recipe, maybe we should sue her for meddling with what many of us already are happy with. This may cause me deep mental anguish and years of therapy. I think 6 million will make up for it

I never actually had them before they are kind of new here , but I'd say it's very unhealthy 🤢🤢🤢 would destroy my blood sugars in no second 😱😱

The corners are pretty fruitless.

I need to sue mcdonalds for less sugary drinks 🤔

Wonder if the lawsuit will stick or not

Only in America

😆

Make it class action!

Fair.. Also...sue them for making everything taste like cardboard.

Imagine suing over a Pop Tart. Karen’s gonna Karen 🙄

So dumb

alright. Good morning, President Biden. Are you willing to tackle the gun problem in American society during your term? Perhaps I feel this is probably the issue for the 2022 midterm elections. Amen

Is she related to Trump?

$5,000,000 is not enough! Someone tell her a Billion! It should be a Billion dollars!

Don’t think my Cheezit cracker has enough salt can I sue?

Who do I see to file a lawsuit that there isn't enough THC in my weed...

God speed

How can she tell? All I taste is high fructose.

Good nice check this one

You know what I enjoy? A fresh pop tart straight from the vine…

I'm going after Chicken in a Biscuit

America the beautiful 😝

Nevermind the stupidity of this woman to think they ever had any large amount of strawberries in the first place. How can she explain $5,000,000 in damages? That's around 16 million pop tarts she would have to been screwed on. No way.

How do you say 'I'm a huge Karen' without saying 'I'm a huge Karen?'

There should be a law against making frivolous lawsuits!

About time they are made to make the products as they advertise

None if this type of stuff has what it claims.

Did they ever have any?

It’s hard to taste the strawberries through all the lard.

czabe

Tackling the important issues of the world 🤦🏻‍♂️

Fkn usa man

Man how much can we sue for, for lack of frosting?

Give me a break! Really? Turn the tables on her and sue her

Always questioned the authenticity of the Strawberry ones. Unlike my personal fave Wildberry, you can taste the real wildberries in there.

Oh jesus. Karen

The fact the Strawberry Pop Tarts actually have any actual strawberries is a revelation to me.

I agree. Lol

🤦🏻‍♀️

There was actually a very similar case to this regarding cereal maybe or some other breakfast item. I didnt follow, but I dont think things went the plaintiffs way. What it will essentially amount to is how much real fruit qualifies as 'real fruit' as displayed on the box.

Did she count the blueberry too? What about the brown sugar?

This is the very definition of a frivolous lawsuit. The lawsuit should be dismissed and she should be forced to pay Kellogg's legal fees. She should be publically shamed

Give her a box of pop tarts and tell her to pop off

Lol. What.

I can get behind this

Woman needs to be laughed out of court and mocked through every aisle at the supermarket.

If she wins, she can buy plenty of strawberries for the rest of her life.

Plaintiff right now be like
