A federal judge is barring Chobani from continuing its advertising campaign that criticizes its rivals yogurt, condemning General Mills and Dannon’s use of ingredients.
Last week David Hurd, a judge for the US District Court of Northern New York, handed down preliminary injunctions against the Greek yogurt manufacturer stating General Mills and Dannon could be “irreparably harmed” by the Chobani ads which would have a “substantial likelihood of success on the merits of its false advertising claim,” according to Minnesota newspaper the Star Tribune.
