In San Diego, Jennifer Hardee has sued three big cereal companies, accusing them of misleading advertising through prominent "low sugar" packaging. She was surprised to learn from a news story that the new cereals have no significant nutritional advantage to regular versions of the breakfast cereals, which are popular with kids.
Hardee, who has two young daughters who eat cereal, is suing Kraft Foods Co., General Mills Cereals, and Kellogg USA Inc., saying they intentionally misrepresent their products.
