October 19/Minneapolis/DailyMarkets -- General Mills Inc. has been indicted of making false claims in its fruit snacks. Contrary to the company’s assertions of using nutritional fruits in its fruit snacks, these are allegedly nothing more than candies, the suit alleges.
The food warden Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) filed the class action suit at the U.S. District Court in the northern district of California against the retail giant. The watchdog claims that General Mills is giving its customers a false impression that these products are more wholesome, and are hence selling them at a premium.
