"David Protein says its bars have 150 calories, 28 grams of protein, two grams of fat, and zero grams of sugar. However, the lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York last month alleges the bars actually have 83% more calories and 400% more fat, according to third-party testing."
"One major through-line in the high school teen girl drama is when protagonist and outcast Cady Heron decides to fight back against popular Queen Bee Regina George, and dupes her into eating fattening Kälteen Bars protein bars, pretending they are for weight loss."
David Protein faces a class-action lawsuit filed in January in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging significant misrepresentation of nutritional content in its protein bars. The company claims its bars contain 150 calories, 28 grams of protein, 2 grams of fat, and zero grams of sugar. However, third-party testing cited in the lawsuit indicates the bars actually contain 83% more calories and 400% more fat than advertised. The lawsuit has generated social media comparisons to the 2004 film Mean Girls, where a character tricks another into consuming fattening protein bars under false pretenses. Linus Technologies operates the David Protein brand.
