Danone, the parent company of Dannon and Oikos yogurt brands, has sued rival Chobani, accusing the company of allegedly misleading consumers about protein content in its 20G Protein line.

Alleged Misleading Labels

Danone alleges Chobani uses a non-standard serving size on its 32-ounce containers of Chobani 20G Protein, which inflates the protein claims on labels. According to the lawsuit, Chobani could claim only 18 grams of protein per serving if it followed FDA serving-size rules for multi-serving containers.

Danone filed the complaint in federal court in Manhattan, seeking unspecified damages and changes to Chobani’s product labeling. The lawsuit claims Chobani’s practices amount to unfair competition and consumer deception.

The dispute comes as food companies compete for shoppers seeking higher-protein products, including yogurt lines marketed around grams of protein per serving. Chobani did not respond to requests for comment.
