The Environmental Working Group has accused Tyson Foods of misleading consumers about its greenhouse gas emissions goals, claiming that its marketing misrepresents the true impact of industrialized beef production.
Caroline Leary of EWG emphasized the importance of transparency, stating, 'We are taking a stand to protect consumers and to demand transparency in an industry that significantly affects climate change.'
Tyson Foods, which produces about 20 percent of the U.S. beef, pork, and chicken, claims to be working towards net-zero emissions by 2050, although the lawsuit questions the validity of these claims.
The lawsuit alleges that Tyson has provided no evidence supporting its claims of achieving net-zero emissions, arguing that industrialized beef production is counterproductive to climate-smart practices.
