Eggland’s Best, the egg company, is the target of a class-action lawsuit claiming that the company falsely advertises its eggs as containing more nutritional benefits and less saturated fat than rivals. This is one of the latest in a trend of class-action litigation against food and beverage companies, most of which has to do with false labeling. Last year alone, the sector faced 187 class-action suits, which was just shy of double the 94 class-action suits filed 10 years ago. That said, Eggland’s Best has been soft-boiled by this kind of thing before, finding itself in hot water in 1994 when they settled with the FTC after claiming that a person could eat 12 of their eggs per week without increasing their cholesterol, which would appear to fly in the face of the law of conservation of mass.
