Lawsuit Against Bertolli Settles...
"A 2014 class action lawsuit filed in California against Deoleo, the maker of Bertolli olive oil, has settled. The case concerned allegations that Deoleo had (1) marketed and sold Bertolli Olive Oil Products with the representation “Imported from Italy,” although most of the oil was extracted in countries other than Italy from olives grown outside Italy; and (2) mislabeled the Bertolli EVOO because its procurement, bottling, and distribution practices did not adequately ensure that the oil would meet the “extra virgin” standard through the date of retail sale or the “best by” date on the bottles." - Terri Seligman
