Mrs. Smith’s Frozen Apple Pie “Made with Real Butter” Claim Complaint

February 4, 2023

Schwan’s Consumer Brands, Inc. appears to be aware that consumers value butter, as the complaint for this class action contends. Schwan’s makes a product under its Mrs. Smith’s brand, a frozen apple pie that it advertises as having a “Flaky Crust Made with Real Butter.” But the complaint alleges that this is misleading because the main shortening in the crust is palm oil.
