A woman from the US state of Florida has sued the multinational Kraft Heinz for five million dollars, arguing that its famous macaroni and cheese take longer to cook than advertised on the packaging.
Amanda Ramírez considers herself, therefore, a victim of misleading information, which justifies the lawsuit in a federal court in Florida, in which she opposes the multinational giant, alleging that the time she spends cooking Velveeta brand pasta exceeds 3 .5 minutes in the preparation instructions. use, according to channel WPLG Local 10.
“We are aware of this frivolous action and will vigorously defend ourselves against its allegations,” a Kraft Heinz Foods Company spokesperson told CNN on Monday.
Lawyers for the plaintiff argue that the company sells the product at a “substantially high price” while using the “misleading” “ready in three and a half minutes” information in the instructions for use.
Ramírez says that the package label should note the additional preparation required before and after microwaving the product for 3.5 minutes.
This includes, depending on the action, the act of opening the packaging, the bag of cheese sauce, adding water or milk, and stirring before and after cooking to thicken the pasta with cheese.
