In many rulings reported so far in these lawsuits, the courts have denied the defendant food companies' motions to dismiss the plaintiffs' claims. For example, in Astiana v. Ben & Jerry's Homemade, Inc., the United States District Court for the Northern District of California denied Ben & Jerry's motion to dismiss the plaintiff's claims related to Ben & Jerry's representation that its Ben & Jerry's and Breyer's ice cream products were "all natural," despite the fact that the products contained Dutch-process/alkalized cocoa.
