Episode notes

A new class action lawsuit argues that there's hardly a hint of lime in the snack food. A&W made with aged vanilla claim from their root beer and cream soda has been removed. "It's impossible to envision a scenario where everybody is going to follow what we believe are the accurate regulations," he says.

Tostitos chips without real lime. Root beer made with fake vanilla. Instant mac and cheese that isn’t so instant. These products are among the hundreds targeted by lawyer Spencer Sheehan, who wants Big Food to stop misrepresenting its products.

This episode was produced by Victoria Chamberlin, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey, and hosted by Noel King.
