A Florida woman has filed a class action lawsuit against Kraft Heinz Foods Company, alleging its Velveeta Shells & Cheese takes longer than advertised to prepare. Amanda Ramirez of Hialeah, Florida is listed as the plaintiff of the $5 million suit filed on Nov. 18 in the U.S. District Court Southern District of Florida. The suit alleges that Velveeta Shells & Cheese assertion that the product is “ready in 3 1/2 minutes” is "false and misleading," according to court documents. In addition to the $5 million in damages, the plaintiffs are also seeking statutory and/or punitive damages from Kraft Heinz Foods Company. "We are aware of this frivolous lawsuit and will strongly defend against the allegations in the complaint," the company said in a statement to USA TODAY. Visit the link in bio for more details.
