What is the $12 Million Clif Bars Class Action Settlement?
The $12,000,000 class action lawsuit against Clif Bar & Company has been settled over allegations that Clif Bars were misleadingly advertised as healthy. The lawsuit claimed that Clif Bars and Clif Kid ZBars were marketed with health-related claims despite their high added sugar content. The lawsuit challenged statements on Clif Bar packaging such as:
- “Nutrition for Sustained Energy”
- “No High Fructose Corn Syrup”
- “Nourishing Kids in Motion”
- “In raising our family, finding nutritious on-the-go snacks for our kids wasn’t easy. That’s why we created Clif Kid – wholesome, delicious snacks made with organic ingredients to help keep kids going, growing, and exploring”
- “Blend of carbs, fiber, protein, and fat gives kids energy so they can keep Zipping and Zooming along”
Clif Bar denies any wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid the costs and risks of further litigation.
