Lewis Liman testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee during his confirmation hearing to be U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of New York, on Wednesday, August 1, 2018.
U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman of the Southern District of New York on Friday dismissed a class action suit against the food and beverage companies Mondelez International and Mondelez Global, finding that a reasonable consumer would not infer that chocolate sold under Mondelez’ Green & Black label contains unprocessed cacao.
Lee Litigation Group attorney Rony Guldmann filed the consumer protection suit in February, arguing that the plaintiff, C.K. Lee, bought the Green & Black chocolate because the front label advertised that it had a high level of cacao, while the ingredient list said the “primary chocolate ingredient” was cocoa, an “inferior, highly processed derivative of the cacao bean that has been stripped of the nutritional qualities that make dark chocolate appealing to its consumers.”
