A Dutchess County woman is
suing The Kellogg Company for $5 million over its "Whole Grain Frosted
Strawberry" Pop-Tarts
The
attorney for Elizabeth Russett, of Beacon, says
the packaging is deceptive and misleading because she says the treat contains
more pears and apples in its filling than strawberries.
"This is a big company with the ability to get it
right and be honest with consumers. And that's all we're asking for. All the
other companies do it the correct way, and we're
asking that Kellogg’s play by the same rules and give consumers what they're
saying," says Spencer Sheehan, of Sheehan &
Associates.
A Kellogg’s spokesperson
tells News 12 “the ingredients in and labeling of all of our Pop-Tart products
fully comply with all legal requirements.”
