A New York man sued Frito-Lay on Monday, claiming the company misleads consumers with the claim its popular Tostitos and SunChips products are made with "all-natural ingredients."
Shake said he shelled out an additional 10 cents per ounce of chips to buy the allegedly "all-natural" Tostitos and SunChips instead of a product such as Doritos, which makes no such claim.
Independent testing conducted on samples of Frito-Lay products labeled "all natural" uncovered the presence of ingredients -- including corn and vegetable oils -- made from genetically modified plants, the lawsuit said.
Had he known that, Shake would never have paid a premium to purchase the "all-natural" chips, the lawsuit said, calling Frito-Lay's labels "deceptive".
