Suit Filed against McDonald’s for Gluten-Free French Fries

Levy v. McDonald's – Freedland Farmer Russo Behren & Sheller has filed a Class Action suit on behalf of a 5 year old girl with Autism. The family decided to put their daughter on a gluten-free diet after numerous studies showed that such a diet can improve quality of life. McDonald's advertised that its french fries were gluten-free. However, McDonald's recently revealed that its french fries did in fact contain gluten. The class action claim is for unfair and deceptive trade practices and seeks a disgorgement of profits McDonald's enjoyed from sales of its french fries to those seeking to adhere to a gluten free diet. The class will likely seek to recover such money on behalf of autism agencies or societies to promote additional research on autism and related conditions.
