A $5 million lawsuit has been filed against General Mills, alleging their claim that its Fruit Roll-Ups and other snacks are low-fat are false and misleading. The Plaintiff says in her lawsuit that General Mills fails to tell the public that “it uses partially hydrogenated oil in the snacks, which the lawsuit says is ‘dangerous’ and ‘unhealthy.’” On boxes of Fruit Roll-Ups, General Mills claims the treats are “naturally flavored, low fat, and ‘a good source of Vitamin C.’”
