Kerrygold, a registered trademark of Ornua Co-operative Limited, has been facing recent allegations which have led to a class-action lawsuit.
Kerrygold is most popularly known for their dairy products, which include a myriad of different types of butters and cheese. Additionally, they are well-known for their “pure and natural” ingredients that come from grass-fed Irish cows. The company claims that their products are “superior” to other dairy products due to their cows, as well as the expertise of their staff.
Kerrygold products have recently been recalled, and taken off of shelves in grocery stores that are located in New York and California. The recall is due to the discovery of the presence of PFAs (polyfluoralkyl substances) in the foil that wraps around the product. PFAs are scientifically proven to be artificial and synthetic. Additionally, they have the potential to be harmful and dangerous to humans, even in a small amount. The United States has strict regulations regarding PFAs, as they present themselves as a threat to humans and the environment.
As of March 1, 2023, Kerrygold products are permitted to return to grocery store shelves, as Kerrygold claims that their new product packaging adheres to the PFA regulations of the United States.
