The makers of Dreamfields pasta have agreed to a $7.9 million class action lawsuit settlement over claims they falsely advertised the low-carb pasta as containing fewer digestible carbohydrates and as having a lower glycemic index than traditional pasta. If you purchased Dreamfields pasta since 2004, you may be eligible to claim up to $29.85 or more from the Dreamfields class action settlement.
If approved, the Dreamfields pasta settlement will resolve a 2013 class action lawsuit accusing Post Holdings and Dakota Growers of making misleading statements about the “glycemic index” and “digestible carbohydrates” that were not scientifically supported.
The defendants deny the allegations but agreed in April 2014 to provide up to $5 million in cash refunds for consumers who purchased Dreamfields low-carb pasta to resolve the litigation and avoid the expense of going to trial. The Dreamfields class action settlement was preliminarily approved on May 9. Subject to final Court approval, the remaining $2.9 million will go toward attorneys’ fees, court costs, and incentive awards for the five plaintiffs in the Dreamfields class action lawsuit.
Who’s Eligible
Class Members of the Dreamfields pasta settlement include anyone who purchased Dreamfields pasta products in the United States for personal use and not for resale, with a label that referred to “glycemic index” or “digestible carbs,” between February 2004 and July 1, 2014.
Potential Award
$1.99 per box purchased. Class Members who purchased Dreamfields pasta online will automatically receive reimbursement of $1.99 for each box purchased. No Claim Form necessary. Those who purchased the pasta products in stores will have to submit a claim to receive $1.99 for each box of Dreamfields pasta purchased, up to a total of 15 boxes ($29.85).
Proof of Purchase
No proof of purchase necessary. Online customers will not have to provide proof of purchase; they will automatically receive a refund. In-store customers will have to provide the store name, location, and approximate date of purchase.

I filed mine on 8/19/2014 . I have a claim number and confirmation sheet that I had printed out on the same day that I filed .\
I did buy 15 boxes of the laszona that I had used for a big dinner and have 4 left .
I haven’t heard anymore info other that the confirmation /
ANY NEW UPDATES?
We bought a box every other week for years believing it was low on the glycemic index. My husband has diabetes as well. I tried to file a claim on the site but it asks where I bought it and when… REALLY?? a box every other week for what… 10 years? I was nearly finished with the claim form and it went to another page. No idea if it went through.
This really enrages me. I’ve purchased a minimum of 1 box per week for the last 3 years… all along believing that it was a healthy diabetic option.
I agree-I am diabetic and have been eating it weekly as well thinking it was acceptable carbs! Not fair!
Same here Debbie. There were books written by diabetes experts recommending the product. Which proves many experts were taken in also.
Does anyone know what the part on the form under
c.) Were fifty percent or more of the boxes purchased after December 31, 2013 means?
Does it change your claim if you answer yes or no to this question?
Just wondering, because I don’t want to send it out if they are just going to reject my claim for this.
Were fifty percent or more of the boxes purchased after December 31, 2013
Answer: no
thanks
Thanks for the answer
Dreamfields has fixed the claim site so you can not file a claim their site will not accept any phone number, I tried 5 different VALID phone number and even tried the local police dept number and their site said all were invalid numbers THIS IS A SCAM…
