Post makes many breakfast cereals with varying nutrition and flavor profiles. .......................................................................................................... 2 6 B. Plaintiffs and their claims. ............................................................................. 3 7 C. It is undisputed that each of the challenged statements was actually 8 true. ................................................................................................................ 4 9 D. The mainstream scientific view is that consuming pre-sweetened, nutrient-dense breakfast cereals like Post’s challenged cereals 10 improves people’s diets. ................................................................................ 6 11 E. Plaintiffs’ experts concede that their view of sugar is a minority viewpoint ....................................................................................................... 8 12 ARGUMENT ................................................................................................................................. 10 13 I. Plaintiffs Cannot Censor Or Punish Post’s Truthful, Non-misleading Speech 14 About The Ingredients and Attributes Of Its Cereals. ............................................. 10 15 A. Plaintiffs’ claims are subject to constitutional review, and they bear the burden of proving that Post’s speech is misleading under the 16 constitutional standard. ................................................................................ 11 17 B. Post’s challenged statements truthfully address its cereals’ characteristics without addressing the healthiness of added sugar; 18 this is valuable, protected speech. ............................................................... 13 19 C. The state cannot censor an alleged message that Post’s cereals are “healthy” despite containing added sugar because mainstream 20 science supports that view. .......................................................................... 17 21 II. Several Of Plaintiffs’ Remaining Claims Are Preempted By Federal Law. ........... 19 22 III. Plaintiffs Lack Evidence Entitling Them To Any Remedy. ................................... 22 23 A. Plaintiffs do not have standing to seek injunctive relief. ............................ 22 24 B. Plaintiffs lack evidence to support money relief. ........................................ 23 25 IV. Post Is Entitled To Judgment Against Plaintiffs’ Claim For Punitive Damages. ................................................................................................................. 24 26 CONCLUSION ............................................................................................................................... 25 27 28 i POST’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT Case No. 3:16-cv-04958-WHO Case 3:16-cv-04958-WHO Document 163 Filed 06/28/19 Page 3 of 32 1 TABLE OF AUTHORITIES 2 Page(s) FEDERAL CASES 3 44 Liquormart, Inc. v.

  • The History of Kraft Foods Inc
    The History of Kraft Foods Inc. All About Kraft Learn everything there is to know about Kraft: like who we are, how you can reach us and what we’re doing in your community. Kraft Foods Inc. is a company with many different roots and founders, all sharing a commitment to quality, a willingness to take risks and a spirit of innovation. Among the products now sold by Kraft Foods Inc. are so many “firsts” and innovations that a history of the company is almost a history of the food industry. Kraft traces its history to three of the most successful food entrepreneurs of the late 19th and early 20th centuries — J.L. Kraft, who started his cheese business in 1903; C.W. Post, who founded Postum Cereal Company (later renamed General Foods Corporation) in 1895; and Oscar Mayer, who began his meat business in 1883. The Story of J.L. Kraft The history of KRAFT goes back to 1903, when, with $65 in capital, a rented wagon and a horse named Paddy, J.L. Kraft started purchasing cheese at Chicago’s Water Street wholesale market and reselling it to local merchants. Within a short time, four of J.L. Kraft’s brothers joined him in the business, and, in 1909, they incorporated as J.L. Kraft & Bros. Co. In 1914, J.L. Kraft and his brothers purchased their first cheese factory in Stockton, Illinois. In 1915, they began producing processed cheese in 3-1/2 and 7-3/4 ounce tins. J.L. Kraft’s method of producing processed cheese was so revolutionary, in 1916 he obtained a patent for it and in 1917 the company started supplying cheese in tins to the U.S.
