Kroger Wins Dismissal of 'Farm Fresh' Egg Lawsuit

Aug 8, 2024, 03:46 PM

Kroger has successfully won the dismissal of a lawsuit that accused the company of misleading consumers by labeling eggs as 'farm fresh.' The lawsuit alleged that the eggs came from caged hens in industrial settings, rather than being 'cage-free,' 'free-range,' or 'pasture-raised.' US District Judge Charles Kocoras ruled in favor of Kroger, distinguishing the term 'farm fresh' from other descriptors that imply specific farming practices.
