Courts Lift Stays After FDA Stalls in Giving Guidance on ECJ -

Perera v. Pac. Foods of Or., Inc., No. 3:14-cv-2074 (N.D. Cal.): In this putative class action alleging violations of California’s consumer protection statutes claiming that Defendant falsely labels its Hemp Non-Dairy beverage and other products as “all natural” when they contain artificial ingredients and evaporated cane juice (“ECJ”) rather than sugar, the Court issued an order lifting its stay of the action pending FDA consideration of labeling issues due to the FDA's continued delay in providing final guidance.
