Our two ol' pals, Ben and Jerry, might be fudging the truth - our Chubby Hubby has had a little work done.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), a nonprofit watchdog group, says Ben & Jerry’s falsely labels some of its ice creams and frozen yogurts as “All Natural" - when in reality, at least 48 out of 53 flavors of the purported “All Natural” product line contain dextrose, alkalized cocoa, corn syrup, hydrogenated oils or other artificial flavors and chemically modified ingredients.
Today, the CSPI announced it will take these concerns to the dairy kings of the Food and Drug Administration and state attorneys general unless the Vermont-based scoop shop, now part of Unilever's brand portfolio, drops the au naturel claim.
