This week, the podcast team gets ready for BevNET Live in New York City by sharing what they are looking forward to at the summer conference. Then the CPG Week hosts jump into all the legal drama in the industry from the past week. Senior reporter Brad Avery shares the latest from the family power struggle over kefir brand Lifeway Foods. The group talks about gut health claims after Poppi is hit with a class-action lawsuit, and, lastly, the team wades into the claims that General Mills allowed a discriminatory workplace in one of its manufacturing facilities for over two decades.

Show Highlights:

1:40 - Brad explains the legal drama between family members at leading U.S. kefir maker Lifeway Foods and why the most recent development centers on a yet-to-be launched kefir brand created by the Lifeway CEO’s brother.

6:00 - Better-for-you soda maker Poppi has entered the “class action club” as it has been slapped with a lawsuit alleging that the brand’s “gut-friendly” claims are not backed by scientific research on prebiotic fiber benefits.

10:10 - The podcast team discusses the unsettling claims made against General Mills regarding an alleged decades-long environment of racism and discrimination existing at the food giant’s Covington, Ga., production plant.
