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.

So we sit & still wait for nothing!
Liza, is right. Most of you wont see a dime with Rust over seeing this claim even if you have proof of purchase .
No check yet
People wake up with Rust handling this alot of people will be screwed out of their money.. Something has to be done about that crooked company..
has anyone called Rust?
No check again, don’t think its coming.
Excuse me, I filed a claim and I ate this stuff 2×3 times a week. I am diabetic and this stuff was supposed to help me. I am not trolling, I want my money back.
I was right no check yesterday and looks like no check today, the mail is stupid slow and I beginning to believe this check is an urban legend.
Social Security payments for the most part are direct deposit. Payments are made on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd Wednesday of the month depending on your birth day.
Nadda in Ohio today
has anyone heard what the amounts will be?C
If they didn’t get mailed until Saturday 5/30/15, I would be willing to say most wont have them till Tuesday or Wednesday. A lot of mail goes out the first of the month SS checks, welfare, child support you name it. The mail is really bogged down for the first few days of the month. My mom gets her mail at noon or so and she said nothing at her place either.
Might take a while for checks to arrive. They originate in Minnesota and were sent out on the 30th of May.
