"The members of the class Plaintiff seeks to represent are more than 100, because the Product has been sold with the representations described here from thousands of stores in the States covered by Plaintiff's proposed classes," the suit states. Ramirez sued "individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated," which indicates this could lead to a class action settlement for consumers.
In previous comments to other publications, the company has stated: "We are aware of this frivolous lawsuit and will strongly defend against the allegations in the complaint." "Good Morning America" has reached out to Kraft Heinz for comment on the lawsuit. Ramirez claims in the suit that the mac and cheese products are "sold at a premium price, approximately no less than $10.99 for eight 2.39 oz cups, excluding tax and sales," which she said are priced "higher than similar products represented in a non-misleading way and higher than it would be sold for absent the misleading representations and omissions." The label does not state the Product takes '3½ minutes to cook in the microwave,' which would have been true."
Step 2 Set the crock pot on Low heat and the cook time will be somewhere between 2-3 hours. "However, the directions outlined above show that 3-and-a-half minutes is just the length of time to complete one of several steps. Throw only 5 ingredients (yep, five) into your crock pot: elbow macaroni noodles (cooked the pasta 3 minutes shy of al dente, so approximately 5 minutes total), milk, Velveeta cheese, butter and Parmesan grated cheese. "Consumers seeing 'ready in 3½ minutes' will believe it represents the total amount of time it takes to prepare the Product, meaning from the moment it is unopened to the moment it is ready for consumption," the suit continues.
