Keller Rohrback L.L.P., a nationally-recognized leader in representing consumers in class action lawsuits, is now investigating similar allegations against Walmart Stores, Inc. (WMT). Independent laboratory testing has confirmed that Walmart’s Great Value Brand “100% Grated Parmesan Cheese” products may contain even higher percentages of wood pulp content; nearly 7.8 percent, according to some reports.

“Walmart Stores, Inc. cannot and should not mislead consumers by labeling its Great Value brand parmesan cheese as ‘100% cheese’ if it, in fact, contains nearly 8 percent wood-pulp content,” said Keller Rohrback L.L.P. attorney Tana Lin.
