It’s doubtful the doughnut would be considered a healthy food, but that hasn’t stopped a man from suing Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc. for allegedly misleading its customers over fruit content. WCNC News reports that Jason Saidan, a California resident, purchased some Krispy Kreme raspberry creme doughnuts, expecting them to contain actual raspberries. But when he checked the nutritional guide on the box, he found the pastries contained no fruit of any kind in their filling.
He alleges that his research found that the blueberry cake doughnuts are also devoid of fruit, and that the maple bars contain absolutely no real maple syrup. Saidan’s false-advertising suit against the Winston-Salem-based company says that he didn’t get the vitamins he was expecting when he bought the doughnuts. Saidan is seeking $5 million in damages.
