Case overview
What this settlement is about
Plaintiff filed a class action complaint on April 28, 2026, alleging that Trader Joe’s misleadingly advertises its Low Acid Dark French Roast Coffee as a genuine low-acid, fully caffeinated product when testing shows the coffee has nearly the same acidity as regular coffee and contains less than half the caffeine of a standard blend. The lawsuit claims Trader Joe’s has been aware of the caffeine discrepancy since at least February 2025, when it was notified through a lawsuit filed by competitor Puroast Coffee Company, yet has taken no action to correct its labeling.
