Breyers ice cream might owe you money after settling a class-action lawsuit. Here’s how to find out

If you bought select Breyers Natural Vanilla ice cream products, you may be eligible to receive part of an $8.85 million settlement. The settlement is the result of a class-action lawsuit brought against Conopco, Inc., and Unilever United States, Inc. It alleged that the labeling on Breyers Natural Vanilla ice cream incorrectly led consumers to believe the flavoring came from only the vanilla plant and not non-vanilla plant sources.

Conopco and Unilever United States have agreed to settle the lawsuit while admitting no wrongdoing. This means that, if you purchased ice cream products covered under the settlement, you may be entitled to file a claim. Here’s the pertinent info:
