A Florida woman has filed a $5 million lawsuit against Walmart, alleging that the supermarket chain's dairy-free milk products are not truly plant-based as advertised. The lawsuit claims that Walmart's Bettergoods milk alternatives contain non-plant-based ingredients, such as calcium carbonate, dipotassium phosphate, and vitamin A palmitate. The plaintiff argues that Walmart is misleading consumers by labeling the products as "plant-based" when they actually include synthetic and non-plant ingredients.

The lawsuit highlights Walmart's "willful" and "intentional" conduct in deceiving consumers and states that the company's labeling led customers, including the plaintiff, to believe the products were made with only plant-based ingredients. The news of this lawsuit comes amid ongoing debates about labeling restrictions on plant-based foods, with the EU recently voting to ban certain meat-related terms from the marketing of plant-based products.
