NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - A public interest group is suing McDonald's, charging
the fast food chain with false advertising due to its promise in 2002 that
it would cut the "bad" fat used in its cooking process.
The group BanTransFats.com, Inc., a California not-for-profit group, filed a
federal lawsuit in San Francisco Thursday, charging the company's delay in
its promised reduction of trans fatty acids in its cooking process
constitutes false advertising.
The group said it is not seeking any monetary damages.
Etc.
