Ghirardelli Chocolate Company has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit alleging it misled consumers into believing some of its products contained white chocolate and that it falsely advertised some of its products as “all natural.”


The Ghirardelli class action lawsuit alleged the products labeled “Premium Baking Chips – Classic White” or “Premium Banking Chips – Classic White Chips” (White Chips) led consumers to believe they contained white chocolate, even though they do not. The false advertising class action lawsuit also alleged Ghirardelli falsely labeled and marketed some products as “all natural.”


Ghirardelli stands by its products and denies any wrongdoing. The company contends that its labels were not false or misleading, and that they complied with all U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations. However, after taking into consideration the risks and costs of further litigation, Ghirardelli agreed to settle the white chocolate class action lawsuit.


The Ghirardelli class action settlement received preliminary approval on Oct. 2, 2014.
