    Case filed

What happened

A proposed class action against The Kraft Heinz Foods Company, apparently concerning allegations of fraudulent or deceptive conduct related to food products. Based on the nature of suit for other fraud, ordinary consumers who purchased the products could plausibly be class members. The allegations are new and not yet proven.

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.
