Chipotle Settlement Over “Non-GMO” Claims
A lawsuit filed against Chipotle claims that its “non-GMO” advertising located in restaurants is misleading and deceptive to consumers. The lawsuit says that Chipotle served meat and dairy products (such as chicken, steak, barbacoa, carnitas, cheese, and sour cream) from poultry and livestock that were raised on GMO feed, and served beverages (such as soft drinks) containing GMOs, but did not disclose this information to consumers.
The Court did not decide in favor of Plaintiffs or Chipotle. Instead, both sides agreed to this Settlement. That way, they avoid the risk and cost of a trial, and the Class Members will receive compensation. You can read more details here.
