Source excerpt
She alleged that the product is in violation of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, as well as federal and state regulations.
The packaging for Kraft Heinz’s Bagel Bites is misleading, and does not include “real” cheese, according to a suit filed by Latonya Jackson Saturday in the Northern District of Illinois.
A Kraft Heinz spokesperson denied the claims and shared the following statement with TODAY Food: “Bagel Bites, the perfect bite-sized pizza snack, are made with delicious, high-quality ingredients that our fans know and love. We proudly stand by the food we make, and are focused on bringing great products to market. The lawsuit lacks any merit, and we will strongly defend our brand.”
