Settlement Information

A proposed settlement has been reached against Clif Bar & Company (“Clif Bar”) in an action alleging that Defedant violated certain laws in labeling its Clif Bars and ZBars with claims that made the products seem healthy, when Plaintiffs allege they were unhealthy due to their added sugar content. Clif Bar denies any wrongdoing of any kind and maintains that its products are not unhealthy due to added sugar content and that the statements on its Clif Bars’ and ZBars’ labeling are true and not misleading. The court in charge of this case is the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Court”), and the case is called Ralph Milan et al. v. Clif Bar & Co., No. 18-cv-2354-JD. The case is assigned to the Honorable James Donato.
