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.

If I do not cash the checks, where does the money go? I bought more than the 15 boxes during that those 11 years and am still buying it – though it has gotten harder to find. It is a good product when used as directed. I am type 1 diabetic and have tested carefully over the years to be sure it is better than the others.
