<p data-pm-slice="0 0 []">Roomies, we all know there are two things that people don&#8217;t play about. Their time and food. Consumers spend their hard owned money on food and want it to live up to the expectations as advertised. It&#8217;s one thing to complain, and it&#8217;s another thing to apply pressure and take legal action. It&#8217;s not uncommon for consumers to call out food or beverage companies for false advertisement.</p>
<p>In the past, companies like Red Bull have gotten sued after consumers opposed their slogan &#8220;Red Bull gives you wings&#8221; because they didn&#8217;t receive any after drinking the popular energy drink. According to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/red-bull-settles-false-advertising-lawsuit-for-13-million-2014-10">Business Insider</a>, in March 2015, Red Bull was required to pay $6.5 million into a settlement fund. We reported last December that a New York man sued <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/new-york-man-sues-kings-hawaiian-for-allegedly-misleading-customers-into-thinking-the-rolls-are-manufactured-in-hawaii/">King&#8217;s Hawaiian</a> for misleading customers that their sweet rolls were manufactured in Hawaii when in actuality are processed in California. Now Kellogg&#8217;s is feeling the heat by another New Yorker over their lack of berries in their Strawberry Pop-Tarts.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2021/10/19/kellogs-sued-strawberry-pop-tarts-filling-ingredients-not-enough-berries/">TMZ</a>, Elizabeth Russett is leading a class-action lawsuit against Kellogg&#8217;s, claiming that they are misleading consumers about what they are eating. Elizabeth claims that the fruit filling in Kellogg&#8217;s whole-grain frosted strawberry toaster pasties is primarily filled with other fruits. The lawsuit states that the Pop-Tarts in question are filled heavier with pears and apples rather than strawberries. The suit claims Elizabeth insists it&#8217;s not enough to provide the berry&#8217;s nutritional benefits, let alone a strawberry taste.</p>
<p>Elizabeth also claims Kellogg&#8217;s uses their packaging to get over on consumers who want to enjoy a breakfast snack packed with strawberries. Elizabeth is coming for the bag and claims the damages exceed $5 million. In addition, she wants to see Pop-Tarts labeled accurately to depict the product.</p>
