Eggland's Best, Inc.; Prohibited Trade Practices, and Affirmative Corrective Actions

In settlement of alleged violations of federal law prohibiting unfair acts and practices and unfair methods of competition, this consent order prohibits, among other things, a Pennsylvania company from misrepresenting the amount of nutrients or other ingredients, such as cholesterol and fat, that is in its eggs or foods containing egg yolks, and requires the respondent to have competent and reliable scientific evidence to substantiate future health-benefit claims for such foods and, for one year, to label certain egg packages with a corrective notice stating that no studies show Eggland's eggs are different from other eggs in their effect on serum cholesterol.
