Consumers are suing Utz Brands, a snack food company, alleging that the company made misleading claims on its product packaging or labeling that deceived buyers into purchasing items under false pretenses. The plaintiffs contend that Utz misrepresented the nature, quality, or contents of its snack products in ways that a reasonable shopper would find material to their purchasing decision. As a result, consumers allegedly paid more for the products than they would have had they known the truth, or bought products they otherwise would not have purchased. The proposed class is expected to include consumers across the United States, or potentially specific states, who purchased the affected Utz products during a defined time period.
The case is in its earliest stage. The defendant has not yet responded. Class certification — the court's decision on whether the case can proceed as a class action — typically takes 12 to 24 months after filing.
