Chipotle has been hit with a couple lawsuits, at least one of which has made it through initial phases, related to its non-GMO claims. One suit is in California and the other in Florida. Both claim false advertising: despite the non-GMO claims, Chipotle's meat and dairy products continue to come from animals fed GMO.

In response to a Massachusetts ballot initiative that would change farm animal housing practices (and retailer's ability to source "caged" eggs/pork), a state farmer and a local anti-poverty activist (and SNAP recipient) have teamed up file a suit asking the courts to stop the ballot initiative.

A couple years ago I commented on increasing amounts of litigation over "all natural" claims on food. Several of those suits have now settled, with the food companies agreeing to compensate the plaintiffs (e.g., Stevia, Kashi, Crisco, and others). Kind bars are in the midst of a legal battle on its use of the word natural.
