Nestle has recently seen some negative media attention due to the class action lawsuit filed against them by a San Diego woman named Katie Simpson. Simpson alleges that Nestle places “profits over public health by not removing trans fat from its pizzas.” She refers to trans fat as a toxic carcinogen and demands $5 million in the class action lawsuit.
Nestle intends on defending themselves in the lawsuit and further claims that all their pizza products are “in compliance with the FDA and USDA regulations.”
