Lawsuit against ConAgra for misleading Spray Butter

MichelleLaree13

UMM I don't want to be rude but who unscrews the lid and pours it in their food? It is "SPRAY BUTTER" You are suppose to use a few sprays, not two containers a week!! I can see that maybe they need to put on there the calories for the whole bottle. But come on people!!

I'm with you. If I'm being that careful with my food I intentionally use only 1 or 2 servings.

Also, in USA if it's under 5 cals per serving it doesn't need to be labeled as having calories. And food labels are allowed to be up to 20% different from the actual food contained.
But none of this is secret info and anyone being careful would know pouring it over your food isn't going to be good for you.

Even if it was low calories like Olestra wouldnt you want to know what is in something you eat so much of? Knowing what you are eating is important. I was going to try Pringles with Olestra until someone told me it can cause anal leakage and other GI symptoms. When I think about crapping myself in public, being fat doesnt sound bad at all. :noway:

It's not just one lady.... according to an article on CNN today:

More than a dozen lawyers who took on the tobacco companies have filed 25 cases against industry players like ConAgra Foods, PepsiCo, Heinz, General Mills and Chobani

The suits, filed over the last four months, assert that food makers are misleading consumers and violating federal regulations by wrongly labeling products and ingredients.

I wouldnt be surprised. Even my organic stuff has pesticides, just less. The ingrediant list for processed food is sooooooooo long there has to be weird/bad stuff in it.
