JAMES EHLERS v. BEN & JERRY'S HOMEMADE INC. and CONOPCO INC. d/b/a UNILEVER UNITED STATES
Publication Date
Description
A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit alleging that the company advertises that it uses “happy cows” to make its ice cream despite the fact that most of the milk used in Ben & Jerry’s products is obtained from factory farming dairy operations. The ruling was based on the judge’s finding that the company never claimed it exclusively used milk from the humane program.
