The Animal Legal Defense Fund has agreed with Hormel Foods to dismiss a lawsuit filed in the District of Columbia Superior Court. The plaintiffs allege that Hormel misled consumers by advertising the Natural Choice brand of lunch meats and bacon. The Animal Legal Defense Fund claimed that pork was produced using "additives, hormones and antibiotics".
In compliance with the agreement, Hormel will publish additional information on its website to define terms used on labels and will modify text in advertisements.
