SAN DIEGO (Legal Newsline) — A California man has filed a class action lawsuit against a food business, alleging negligent misrepresentation.

Anthony Buso filed a complaint, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Sept. 14 in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California against ACH Food Companies Inc., and Does 1 through 10, alleging that they sell their products with approximately 50 percent empty space.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that he suffered damages from purchasing a falsely advertised Fleischman's Simply Homemade Baking Mix product for cornbread.
