Last week, the Environmental Working Group (“EWG”) filed a lawsuit against Tyson Foods in DC Superior Court under the DC Consumer Protection Procedures Act (“CPPA”), accusing the country’s second-largest meat company of falsely claiming it will be net-zero by 2050 and misrepresenting its industrial beef products as ​“climate-smart.” (The first-largest meat company is already facing a lawsuit over similar claims.) This comes just a few weeks after the DC Court of Appeals allowed a lawsuit against Coca-Cola under the CPPA over its forward-looking environmental claims to proceed.
