Top Class Actions viewers are starting to receive checks in the mail from a class action settlement that accused snack maker Snyder’s-Lance Inc. of falsely marketing its pretzel and chip products as “all natural.”

According to reader comments and posts on the Top Class Actions Facebook page, Class Members who submitted timely and valid claims for the Snyder’s settlement began receiving checks worth as much as $10 on Nov. 19, 2016.

If you filed a claim for the Snyder’s snacks class action settlement, keep an eye on your mailbox because checks are on their way!

The Snyder’s class action settlement resolves allegations that the snack food manufacturer added artificial colors and genetically modified ingredients to chips and pretzels labeled as “all natural.”

Some of the ingredients the Snyder’s class action lawsuit called into question included: maltodextrin, niacin, reduced iron, dextrose, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin and folic acid.

According to lead plaintiff Todd Barron, these ingredients are not “natural” and by labeling snack food as such, reasonable consumers could easily be deceived.

Class Members included anyone in the U.S. who purchased Snyder’s of Hanover® Pretzels, Snyder’s of Hanover® Chips, Cape Cod® Potato Chips, Eatsmart Naturals® Snacks, Padrino’s® Chips, and Snack Factory Pretzel Crisps® for personal use between 2007 and 2016.

The deadline to file a claim for the Snyder’s natural class action settlement passed on July 5, 2016.
