Breyers Vanilla Ice Cream Settlement: $8.85M

Anyone who purchased Breyers Natural Vanilla ice cream in any size between April 21, 2016, and August 14, 2024, can file a claim.

Class members can submit receipts, proof of online orders, emails from retailers, or credit card statements as proof of purchase to claim an unlimited number of products.

Breyers has agreed to an $8.85 million settlement to resolve claims that its Breyers Natural Vanilla ice cream was falsely advertised as containing real vanilla exclusively derived from the vanilla plant. Plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit allege that the labeling misled consumers into believing the ice cream contained vanilla flavor derived solely from the vanilla plant when, in fact, it allegedly included flavoring from non-vanilla plant sources.

Breyers, owned by Conopco Inc., disputes these allegations and denies any wrongdoing. 

Under the terms of the settlement, consumers who purchased any size of Breyers Natural Vanilla ice cream between April 21, 2016, and August 14, 2024 can receive:

• Without Proof of Purchase: Claimants can receive $1 per product purchased, with a cap of eight products, for a maximum payout of $8.
• With Proof of Purchase: Class members can claim an unlimited number of documented purchases and receive payments accordingly.

To receive settlement benefits, eligible class members must submit a valid claim form by February 19, 2025.
