- Excerpt from Court Grants Preliminary Approval of Settlement in ConAgra’s “All Natural” Potato Class Action:

In re Alexia Foods Litigation, No. 11cv6119 (N.D. Cal.): The court granted preliminary approval of a $3.2 million settlement agreement between ConAgra Foods, Inc. and a class of consumers who claim that potato products were falsely labeled “natural” because they contain an artificial chemical that prevents discoloration. The agreement provides a $2.5 million settlement fund with another $700,000 in vouchers. Class members can receive up to $35 for products purchased or up to $75 in food vouchers, or a combination of the two. ConAgra also agreed to pay up to $800,000 in attorneys’ fees.
