Customers who have purchased Truvia Natural Sweetener between July 1, 2008 and July 24, 2014 can claim into the Truvia Natural Sweetener Class Action Settlement on TruviaSweetenerLawsuit.com to get cash refund or vouchers.
Many people throughout the United States use Truvia Natural Sweeteners thinking that they are made with all natural ingredients. But they will be shocked to know that those sweeteners actually contain highly processed ingredients instead of natural. If you have purchased the Truvia Natural Sweetener (packet, spoonable jar and baking blend forms) for household or personal use between July 1, 2008 and July 24, 2014, then you are eligible to get cash refund or vouchers from the
Truvia Natural Sweetener Class Action Settlement.
Two
class action lawsuits (Denise Howerton, et al. v. Cargill, Inc. and Molly Martin and Lauren Barry v. Cargill, Inc.) were filed against Cargill claiming that it misled customers by marketing its Truvia consumer products as “natural”. According to plaintiffs, the Truvia Natural Sweeteners are not natural as they contain highly processed ingredients and/or ingredients derived from GMOs (genetically modified organisms).
They further claimed that the descriptions of products were inaccurate or misleading. Thus, the company violated consumer protection laws and the breach-of-warranty laws of various states (Minnesota, California, Hawaii, and Florida). Cargill denies all these allegations but agreed to pay $5 million to settle these class action lawsuits. The company will also make certain changes to the labels of its Truvia Natural Sweetener products.
