Naan Bread Settlement, Get $2.50 Per Each Purchased Product

Naan Bread Settlement

This lawsuit is about the labeling of naan bread products. The Plaintiff alleges that the Defendants made false statements on the labels of its naan bread products, including that the naan is “tandoor baked,” “tandoor oven baked,” “baked in a tandoor oven,” and “hand stretched and tandoor oven-baked to honor 2,000 years of tradition.” The Defendants deny all of the claims made in the lawsuit.

The Court did not decide in favor of the Plaintiff or Defendants. Instead, the Plaintiff and Defendants agreed to a settlement. This way, they avoid the cost and burden of a trial and the people affected can get benefits. The Class Representative and her attorneys think the settlement is best for all Settlement Class Members.

Who’s Eligible?

The settlement includes everyone who purchased eligible Naan products that defendants (FGF Brands) produced that was marketed or sold in the United States and that was represented to the purchaser as Naan baked in a tandoor oven (the “Products”) from November 16, 2013 through October 23, 2020.

The settlement does not include the Defendants and their affiliates, employees, officers, directors, agents, representatives and their immediate family members; and class counsel, the judge and the magistrate judge who have presided over the Action, and their immediate family members.
