  • Description: Last year, more than 50 lawsuits - also filed against Target, Walmart and Supervalu, among other defendants - alleged that the companies violated state consumer protection laws by marketing or selling products as 100 percent Parmesan cheese despite the items containing an anti-clumping agent called cellulose. In his ruling last week, U.S. District Judge Gary Feinerman said the plaintiff's claims were "doomed by the readily accessible ingredient panels on the products that disclose the presence of non-cheese ingredients."
