![]() ![]() The class action lawsuit would be open to any consumer in the United States who purchased either a Blue Diamond Almond Breeze product or a Silk Almond Milk product anytime between to the present day. If approved, the almond milk class action lawsuit would seek more than $5 million in damages for potential Class Members. They think that any reasonable consumer would be misled by the false advertising practices of Blue Diamond and WhiteWave. ![]() The plaintiffs are curious why almond milk manufacturers would disclose that information to consumers in the United Kingdom but deceptively misrepresent the product in the United States.īased on their findings, the plaintiffs also believe Silk maker WhiteWave uses similar fraudulent practices in selling other plant-based milk products like their soy, coconut and cashew milk.Īlbert and Malaxianis claim they regularly purchased Blue Diamond’s Almond Breeze and Silk’s PureAlmond milk because they believed it to be primarily made from almonds. In both products, the packaging disclosed that the “milk” product contains just 2 percent almonds. Silk PureAlmond milk is under the name Alpro in the U.K. The discovery was made after the plaintiffs looked at the two products which are also sold in the United Kingdom. The proposed almond milk class action lawsuit also found that Silk’s PureAlmond manufactured by WhiteWave claims that it is “100% mouth-watering almond deliciousness.” Again, the plaintiffs believe this type of advertising is misleading to customers.ĭespite the labeling, the plaintiffs allege they have discovered that the “milk” products are actually primarily made up of thickening agents including locust bean gum, gellan gum, xanthan gum, and carrageenan. According to the almond milk class action lawsuit, Blue Diamond, which is the world’s leader of tree nut processing and marketing, deceptively labeled their Almond Breeze milk as “made from real California almonds.” The plaintiffs believe a reasonable consumer would conclude that the product was in fact entirely or almost entirely made of almonds. ![]()
