Federal Court Unpacks Challenge to Fishy Environmental Claims
| 5 min
Breaded fish fillets were the latest target of an ESG class action lawsuit examining sustainable certifications, traceability claims, and broad environmental benefit claims for ConAgra’s fish fillets and similar seafood products. The Northern District of Illinois decided on a motion to dismiss that although “certified sustainable seafood” claims may be permissible in this case, general “good for the environment” claims require further review and so the Court partially denied ConAgra’s motion to dismiss.
