“Say it ain’t so Joe,” but alas even Trader Joe’s was faced with a class action law suit claiming false and misleading use of “All Natural” and “100% Natural” labels on foods merchandise.  The suit claimed that Trader Joe’s charged a premium on meals products falsely labeled “All Natural” and “100% Organic,” as they contained synthetic and artificial elements such as xanthan gum.

A Federal Court Judge has preliminarily accepted a settlement for approximately $ 3.four million bucks, with last approval scheduled for a July hearing.  The income set aside is in element to be utilized to reimburse customers with and without receipts for the offending foods items, including a range of cookies, juice, rolls, cheese and far more.

This situation represents the mere tip of the “All Natural” litigation ice berg, which has been allowed to form courtesy of the FDA and their refusal to define the word “Natural.”  The bottom line is that the food sector is big company and meals shops are in that business to make income.  The FDA is suppose to safeguard buyers towards the malevolence of large business, but as several think, that is like asking the fox to watch the hen property.

We need to have a governmental meals company that in fact does their purported occupation of guarding American buyers.  The ideal way to effectuate alter is by way of a enormous grass roots movement by the people.  If people in every single state complain to their Senators, Congressmen and Governors about the true need to have to remove the FDA and create a new governmental food agency totally free of outdoors influence, all issues are possible.  When politicians are convinced that the men and women demand a change and that their political careers depend on it, we will do well in acquiring the wolves to flip on themselves.
