Old Lyme Deep River Potato Chips Settlement: $4M

All U.S. consumers who purchased Deep River Snacks potato chips labeled with the “Non-GMO Ingredients” graphic for personal or household use between February 2, 2017, and December 6, 2024.

Required for larger claims. If proof is not provided, payments are limited.

A $4 million settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Old Lyme Gourmet Co., the makers of Deep River Snacks potato chips. Plaintiffs allege that the company’s use of a “Non-GMO Ingredients” graphic on its chip packaging misled consumers into believing the products were certified by a third-party organization, such as the Non-GMO Project.

Old Lyme denies these allegations but agreed to settle the lawsuit to avoid further litigation.
