Eggland's Best, Inc.; Proposed Consent Agreement With Analysis To Aid Public Comment

Resumo

In settlement of alleged violations of federal law prohibiting unfair acts and practices and unfair methods of competition, this consent agreement, accepted subject to final Commission approval, would prohibit, among other things, a Pennsylvania company from misrepresenting the amount of nutrients or other ingredients in its eggs or foods containing egg yolks, and would require 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.
