Mondelez Global LLC<\/em>, the court dismissed a complaint attacking Oreo cookie labeling, which stated that the cookies are \u201cAlways Made With Real Cocoa.\u201d&nbsp; The court found that the label was factually accurate because the cookies do in fact contain \u201cReal Cocoa,\u201d and, absent language in the label that the cookies were made \u201conly\u201d or \u201cexclusively\u201d with \u201cReal Cocoa,\u201d the label would not mislead a reasonable consumer as to the nature and extent of the real cocoa content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On their face, these cases underscore that accuracy matters and that it pays to avoid any hint of overstatement in describing popular food ingredients.&nbsp; Labels that emphasize the defensible fact of content alone are better suited to defeat a claim of deception at the early threshold motion stage.&nbsp; Indeed, in <em>Sharpe v. A&amp;W Concentrate Co.<\/em>, the court denied the defendant\u2019s motion to dismiss where the company\u2019s vanilla-flavored soda label included the bolded statement \u201cMADE WITH AGED VANILLA.\u201d&nbsp; This label goes beyond what the other vanilla labels stated by specifically stating the type of vanilla\u2014\u201cAged Vanilla.\u201d&nbsp; The court interpreted \u201cAged Vanilla\u201d to mean natural vanilla, and when coupled with plaintiff\u2019s evidence indicating that the vanilla flavor came predominately from an artificial or synthetic ingredient rather than natural sources, the court held this label could mislead the reasonable consumer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other New York federal court decisions suggest that a disclaimer or clarifying language may be necessary in defeating a deception claim.&nbsp; For example, in <em>Hesse v. Godiva Chocolatier, Inc.<\/em>, the court found that a reasonable consumer could be misled by the \u201cBelgium 1926 label\u201d on Godiva\u2019s chocolates to believe that the chocolates were made in Belgium, when they are made in the United States\u2014a fact Godiva failed to disclose in its labeling.&nbsp; Had Godiva included a reference to the chocolates being made in the United States on its product packaging, Godiva may have fared better on its motion to dismiss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In applying the \u201creasonable consumer\u201d test, New York federal courts also consider the dominant message set forth in the label at issue and how it relates to the product as a whole.&nbsp; This focus stems from the Second Circuit\u2019s decision in <em>Mantikas v. Kellogg Co<\/em>., involving Cheez-Its\u2019 \u201cWHOLE GRAIN\u201d crackers, labeled prominently as such combined with the statement \u201cMADE WITH WHOLE GRAIN.\u201d&nbsp; <em>Mantikas<\/em> held that the label could plausibly mislead a reasonable consumer to believe that the crackers are made predominately with whole grain, as opposed to other types of grain, despite the ingredient panel stating the actual mix of whole grain and enriched flour content.&nbsp; According to district courts dismissing deceptive food labeling claims, <em>Mantikas<\/em> speaks to representations regarding ingredients central to the product and its health benefits.&nbsp; Consequently, healthful ingredient representations, especially those that relate to the main ingredients of a product, may be held to a higher standard on a motion to dismiss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On balance, these cases reinforce that the \u201creasonable consumer\u201d inquiry is context-specific, but also that dismissal at the 12(b)(6) stage is attainable.&nbsp; Indeed, courts in New York are viewing \u201creasonable consumers\u201d as far more savvy, and far less vulnerable, than plaintiffs\u2019 allegations often suggest.&nbsp; So when companies choose to litigate, they know that New York federal courts will view claims of deceptive labeling with a refreshingly practical perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A longer version of this article appeared&nbsp;in&nbsp;<em>New York Law Journal<\/em>.
