I agree. This should of never happened if they were responsible!.
Who would I contact to be one of the plaintiffs in the Parkway lawsuit? I am so upset about this. I’ve been using this product for many years thinking I was cutting back on calories and fat. I feel betrayed by this company. Shame on Conagra.
Who would I contact to be one of the plaintiffs in the Parkway lawsuit?
So basicly, this product is no better on calorie/fat savings than a regular tablespoon of butter, as the bottle contains 8 oz. (1 oz butter = 100 calories). I’ve bought probably close to 50 bottles of this product since 2005, thinking I was using a “calorie free” food! In addition, the butter spray variety costs much more.
Please I would like to be contacted as I purchase this margarine to cut calories and fat and have been mislead!
I would also like to be contacted. I have purchased this spray butter over several years thinking it was fat free and calorie free to spray on my steamed veggies, and now to learn it is all a LIE…….
I have been purchasing this product since it came out on the market and purchase at least (1) one bottle per week. I always thought it was better than regular margarine and now I know why still have the belly flab! I currently have a bottle in my fridge and just threw away an empty bottle 2 days ago. Maybe I will throw this one out as well.
Although I don’t use the product it is the false labeling and ability to label a product “calorie-free” if it is under 5 calories that triggers me to not eat. I am already always stressed and freaked out about food that has more calories, I don’t need to stress out about my food that I think has 0 calories… Ugh I think an act under the FDA should require foods that have under 5 calories to label wither with the exact number of calories something has or to put the calories<5 like gum packets do so people like me don't now feel the obsessive need to not eat anything. I already don't trust food now this just makes it worse…
I would really like to know who to contact about this. I am beyond furious, I have a son with a rare metabolic disorder and can only have 20 grams a fat A DAY!!!! We have beed using this product for years trusting it was fat free! Really this is not just about trying to eat healthy for us this about my little boys life, eating to much fat will kill him!!!!
I would like to join this class action lawsuit.. As I am a regular
user of Parkay products. And feel that advertising & product labels
are misrepresenting. When will the contact information be available to
sign up to be a part of this lawsuit?
I also have used the product and would like to be involved. How do I or whom do I contact to be plaintiff in the suit?

I have avoided anything that says it has zero calories as I am very skeptical of the claim. If anything comes from this law suit, I wish there could be a requirement that products not only list the per serving nutrition but also the entire container information. I have seen a few products that do that and it provides reality check.
I would like to know who to contact about this. I too am furious. I have spent thousands of dollars trying to eat responsibly watching calories and fat grams. Something should be done!
I have been trying very hard to reduce my weight for medical reasons. I’ve never been fond of the taste/texture of this butter substitute but have used it since January 1, and more sporadically in the years before 2012. I feel really cheated. How do I become part of this class action suit?
Where is the FDA in this content labeling disput?e If the aligation is true and there is an FDA violation (and it should be if not), this would appear to be an example of why business hates and blames TO MUCH REGULATION as a deterrant to profits. This company has made huge profits on this stuff, SO WHAT’S IN IT????? My wife use to pure this crap on corn on the cob thinking there was nothing in it. Several other brands have cropped up in the last few years sellin the same type of stuff, and most can’t be kept on shevles.
BLAH BLAH BLAH. That is what this is. I have been using Parkay butter spray for over 12 years. In fact, one bottle per day. I use it on everything. I am a very healthy woman weighing only 125. Money is the root of all evil. Ya’ll remember that.
For years I have used Parkay Spray Butter thinking I doing such a good job of taking care of my body by cutting calories. Now I find out I was a lie. Shame on ConAgra!
I have been using this product for longer than I can remember. I thought it was the only safe margarine since it didn’t contain the chemicals that made margarine solid. I would say I purchase at least one per every three weeks since 2009.

Our family has been using it for years. We use it for all foods that need to be buttered.
