Post Cereals Sued for Misrepresenting "Honey Bunches of Oats"

On October 5, 2018, a class action suit was filed against Post Consumer Brands, LLC, for committing unfair and deceptive trade practices in branding and packaging  its "Honey Bunches of Oats" cereals as primarily sweetened with honey.  In fact, the cereals are primarily sweetened with sugar and other refined substances, while honey is a very minor ingredient.  The lawsuit contends that consumers were harmed by paying a premium to purchase the cereals as misrepresented by Post.  The plaintiffs and the putative class are represented by Quat Law Offices and Reese LLP.
