- David Protein bars are facing a class action lawsuit alleging they misrepresent the fat and calorie content on their labels.
- An accredited laboratory reportedly found the bars contain up to 83 percent more calories and 400 percent more fat than advertised.
- The lawsuit claims these discrepancies violate FDA regulations, which require nutritional content to be within 20 percent of actual numbers.
- David Protein CEO Peter Rahal denies the allegations, stating the confusion stems from different methods of measuring calories, distinguishing between bomb calorimeter results and human absorption.
- Plaintiffs are seeking a jury trial, damages and injunctive relief to prevent the brand from selling the allegedly mislabeled bars, representing consumers in California, Illinois and New York.
