A $5M class-action lawsuit has accused Kellogg’s of misleading customers about the fruit content of their frosted strawberry Pop-Tarts, claiming they contain few actual strawberries.
Elizabeth Russett of New York accused the food giant of padding out strawberry Pop-Tart filling with cheaper pears and apples.
It is not the first time that the ingredients of strawberry Pop-Tarts have come under scrutiny.
A separate lawsuit filed in August by Anita Harris else also alleged that the labels on strawberry Pop-Tarts ‘are misleading because the ingredients list on the breakfast food reveals that they contain ‘less than 2 percent’ strawberries, along with pears and apples.
