Kroger is set to pay $1.25 million to settle a lawsuit brought by California officials that alleged the company misrepresented calorie counts on certain bread products. According to the complaint described by both outlets, the dispute centers on Kroger’s “Carbmaster” breads, which prosecutors alleged carried inaccurate calorie information on their labeling. The settlement resolves the state’s false advertising allegations without requiring Kroger to admit wrongdoing, as implied by the use of “settle” in the reports. Details of the alleged labeling discrepancies are limited in the coverage provided, but the core claim is that the calorie content shown to consumers did not match the product’s actual calorie counts. Both sources report the same settlement amount—$1.25 million—and attribute the case to California prosecutors. The agreement ends the litigation stemming from the state’s accusations regarding the bread label’s calorie information.
