Overview

Clif Bar Settlement

The lawsuit accused Clif Bar & Company of using misleading health labels such as “Nutrition for Sustained Energy” and “Nourishing Kids in Motion” while selling products that allegedly contain high levels of added sugar. Plaintiffs argued that the marketing misled health-conscious shoppers and parents.

Although the company denies any wrongdoing, they have agreed to pay $12 million to resolve the claims rather than continue with lengthy court proceedings.
