Conagra Foods, Inc.

Milberg LLP is co-lead counsel in a class action against ConAgra Foods, Inc., the maker of Wesson Oils, concerning the company’s use of the phrase “100% Natural” to market food products made with crops grown from seeds that have been genetically engineered using sophisticated laboratory techniques. The District Court certified eleven separate statewide classes of Wesson purchasers. ConAgra appealed the class certification order to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which affirmed the decision in a decision considered extremely favorable to consumer class actions. Conagra petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court for review of the Ninth Circuit’s decision. The Supreme Court denied the petition.
