Overview
- Shopper Rozaliya Ripa filed the case on October 23 in New York federal court, seeking class action status.
- The suit alleges the snacks contain synthetic citric acid despite packaging that states “No Artificial Colors, Flavors or Preservatives.”
- Ripa says she bought Sea Salt & Vinegar chips for $3.99 at a Brooklyn Stop & Shop in August and overpaid because of the labeling.
- Campbell’s, which has owned the brand since 2018, declined to comment on the litigation and said the chips are made with “high quality, carefully selected ingredients.”
- An initial court conference is set for December, and the complaint’s assertions, including alleged health links, have not been adjudicated.
