General Mills falsely advertised Yoplait Enjoy Zero yogurt as containing zero sugar, a new class action alleges.

Alex Sanders filed a class action lawsuit against General Mills Inc. on Oct. 26, 2026, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois.

The complaint alleges General Mills labels its Yoplait Enjoy Zero yogurt as containing 0 grams of added sugar even though the company adds allulose to the product.

The ingredient at issue

General Mills lists allulose, which the lawsuit claims is a rare sugar slightly less sweet than table sugar, among the yogurt’s ingredients.

A federal appeals court ruled in July 2026 that allulose counts as a sugar under federal labeling rules and that state law claims enforcing those same rules can move forward.

Why the lawsuit targets the front label

Since 2020, the Food and Drug Administration has let companies leave allulose out of the sugar totals on nutrition facts panels. The complaint does not challenge that part of the package. Instead, it focuses on the no-added-sugar claim printed prominently on the front. The yogurt does not claim to be sugar-free or zero-sugar, two terms with their own federal definitions. Instead, the lawsuit claims the question is what 0 grams of added sugar meant to the shoppers who read it.

Shoppers who see that claim would reasonably believe General Mills put no sugar ingredient in the yogurt even though allulose appears elsewhere on the package, the proposed class action alleges. Whether a product contains added sugar is a verifiable fact rather than marketing puffery, it adds.

Sanders claims he relied on the label when buying Enjoy Zero Blueberry yogurt and would have bought fewer cups, picked another product or paid less had he known about the allulose.

The legal claims

The suit accuses General Mills of misleading shoppers through three claims:


  • Breach of express warranty, which covers products that fail to match the promises on their labels

  • Unjust enrichment, which is a backup claim that seeks the money General Mills earned from the alleged mislabeling

  • Delaware Deceptive Trade Practices Act, which bars companies from claiming products have ingredients or qualities they lack

The class action seeks a court declaration stating the label misleads shoppers, repayment of the extra amount they paid because of it, the profits tied to it and an order barring the no-added-sugar claim unless it is accurate.

What the lawsuit means for Yoplait customers

The proposed nationwide class covers anyone in the U.S. who bought Yoplait Enjoy Zero yogurt labeled as containing 0 grams of added sugar with a separate group for Illinois buyers. There is no settlement, no claims process and no money available at this time.
