Karlin Foods has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit over allegations that the cornstarch manufacturer falsely advertised its “sold exclusively at Walmart” product as “all natural.” If you purchased Great Value All Natural Cornstarch since Aug. 22, 2010, you may be eligible for benefits from the class action settlement.
The Karlin class action lawsuit filed by lead plaintiff Amber Teufel alleged that the cornstarch was not “all natural” as the label claimed but rather contained ingredients that were genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Walmart started selling Karlin cornstarch under its Great Value store brand beginning in 2010. Although neither Walmart or Karlin Foods will admit to any wrongdoing by labeling the product as “all natural,” manufacturer Karlin has agreed to a $825,000 settlement which will be used to pay valid claims submitted by Class Members.
Under the cornstarch settlement agreement, Karlin has also agreed to remove the phrase “all natural” from the product label.
Who’s Eligible
Class Members include individuals who purchased Walmart’s Great Value All Natural Cornstarch for personal or household use in the United States on and/or after Aug. 22, 2010.
Potential Award
$1 – $8 depending on whether Class Members submit a receipt with their Claim Form.
Class Members who do not submit receipts can only claim a maximum of $2; however, Class Members who submit receipts can claim up to $8.
Proof of Purchase
The Karlin all natural cornstarch class action lawsuit settlement does not require a proof of purchase. However, Class Members who submit receipts with their Claim Form will be eligible to receive up to $8 in financial award, while Class Members who don’t submit proof of purchase can only claim up to $2.

The claim form on the site prohibits you from making a claim. It asks where you purchased and if you start answering an error occurs saying invalid email & even if you dont answer the questions and try to submit it states email not valid. Waste of time !!!
