The term “All Natural” has been a great source of controversy over the years. In fact, this marketing mantra has led to the filing of quite a few class action lawsuits. For example, the recently settled case called DiFrancesco, et al. v. Utz Quality Foods, Inc. was filed over allegations that the Defendant labeled certain products as being “All Natural” even though they were processed. However, the Defendant denies all wrong doing and any liability to the Plaintiff Class. At any rate, the case appears to be wrapping up to the tune of $1,250,000.
