Cold Stone Creamery is facing a lawsuit over alleged deceptive advertising after a Long Island woman discovered its pistachio ice cream may not actually contain pistachios, USA Today reported.
Jenna Marie Duncan of Farmingdale, New York, claims she purchased pistachio ice cream from a Cold Stone location in Levittown in July 2022 and “reasonably believed that the pistachio ice cream she purchased from defendant contained pistachio,” according to the class-action lawsuit accessed by the news outlet.
Ms. Duncan said she learned on the company’s website that there were no pistachios in the ice cream but rather “pistachio flavoring” consisting of water, ethanol, propylene glycol, natural and artificial flavor, Yellow 5 and Blue 1, according to the lawsuit.
