What happened

This is a proposed class action against The Kraft Heinz Foods Company, apparently concerning fraud under the 'Other Fraud' nature-of-suit category. The docket text does not detail the specific allegations, but the case has been related to Hayes v. Kraft Heinz Foods Company and stayed pending a ruling on a motion to dismiss in that related matter.

Do you qualify?

No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.

How to file

There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
