Driscoll’s Accused of Selling Strawberries with PFAS Compounds
A lawsuit has been filed against Driscoll’s alleging that its strawberries contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly referred to as “forever chemicals.” According to the complaint, Driscoll’s promotes its strawberries as being produced with rigorous food safety and quality standards, yet independent testing reportedly found PFAS compounds in the fruit.
The lawsuit claims that independent laboratory tests identified multiple pesticide residues on Driscoll’s strawberries, including those linked to PFAS chemistry. These findings were highlighted in a report by Mamavation in May 2026. Plaintiffs argue that Driscoll’s marketing, which emphasizes safety, quality, and purity, misleads consumers into believing the strawberries are free from such chemicals.
Plaintiffs assert that consumers were harmed by paying a premium for strawberries they believed were safe and free from harmful chemicals. They argue that Driscoll’s extensive marketing campaigns, which portray the brand as environmentally friendly, further misled consumers about the true nature of its farming practices.
The complaint seeks to represent a class of consumers who purchased Driscoll’s strawberries for personal, family, or household use. Plaintiffs are requesting declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as punitive damages, claiming violations of California’s Environmental Marketing Claims Act, Unfair Competition Law, False Advertising Law, and Consumers Legal Remedies Act.
