Judge Dismisses Suit Claiming Cap’n Crunch ‘Crunchberries’ Aren’t Real Fruit

 
A California federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a San Diego woman who said she ate Cap'n Crunch cereal for years thinking "crunchberries" were real fruit.
 

Janine Sugawara sued General Mills, the maker of Cap'n Crunch, for fraud for claiming the colored balls of sugary cereal sprayed with strawberry juice concentrate were fruit. Sugawara only noticed the true nature of the cereal after eating it for four years, she claimed in her suit.

 

Judge Morrison England of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California, however, dismissed Sugawara's suit on May 21 and ruled that she had failed to prove her legal case against the Cap'n.

 

"A reasonable consumer would not be deceived into believing that the product in the instant case contained a fruit that does not exist," the judge said in his ruling. "So far as this Court has been made aware, there is no such fruit growing in the wild or occurring naturally in any part of the world."
