Linus Technologies Sued Over David Protein Bar Labels

0:00This is Birmingham News Today, powered by AI and presented by the Daily News Now. A class action lawsuit has been filed against Linus Technologies, the maker of David Protein bars, accusing them of misleading labels on calorie and fat counts. Three buyers launched the case in federal court in New York on January 23rd, claiming independent tests showed the bars pack up to. 83% more calories than stated. The bars are advertised with 150 calories, 0 grams of sugar, and 28 grams of protein per serving. Federal rules say food is misbranded if nutrients exceed labels by more than 20% and consumer laws ban false ads. The plaintiffs want actual damages or $500 per violation, whichever is bigger. Us triple damages, legal fees, and a jury trial. Linus Technologies was founded in 2023 by Peter Rahal, who also started the RX-BAR brand.

Meanwhile, the company took a lighthearted jab on Instagram this week with a Mean Girls movie reference, basically saying no one is getting tricked into unwanted weight gain from their bars. The case is ongoing as they plan a strong defense. The Daily News Now is grateful to our sponsor for today's episode. Some travel miles to find peace.
