Kellogg has agreed to a settlement fee of US$3.99m in a class action lawsuit against its 'all natural' claims for its Kashi product in Florida.

The lawsuit was filed in 2012 by Katrina Garcia and Laura Eggnatz, who each receive US$5,000 under the settlement after they alleged Kashi had falsely claimed its products are all natural. Plaintiffs claimed GMOs the products use can result in insecticides and other chemicals inserted into plants' genetic codes remaining in consumers' blood.
