Class action lawsuit settlements mean a little spending money for eligible consumers

SAN ANTONIO – If you pour Kellogg’s Raisin Bran or Frosted Mini Wheats into your cereal bowl, you may be eligible to claim a little cash. Better hurry, though. The deadline to file a claim is Sept. 7.

Kellogg’s agreed to a $13 million class action lawsuit settlement. The lawsuit alleged the company labeled certain cereals as heart healthy or lightly sweetened, yet they contained excessive sugar.

Consumers who bought various Kellogg’s Raisin Bran, Smart Start or Frosted Mini Wheats between Aug. 29, 2012, and May 1, 2020, can file a claim online.

The estimated average payout is about $16. The company is not admitting wrongdoing by settling the suit.
