Deep River Potato Chips Settlement – Key Details, How and Where to Claim

A brand of potato chips whose packaging bore a “Non-GMO Ingredients” seal of approval, in particular?

Did it feel like you were choosing a good snack? What if I were to tell you that label might not be what you think it was?

A $4 million settlement is right here, and it’s all about those Deep River potato chips you love.

If you’ve ever bought a bag of Deep River chips that had that “made with Non-GMO ingredients” graphic on it, here’s your opportunity to get something back.

Let’s break it down for you – everything you need to know in plain English.

What Is This Lawsuit About?

Some people (the plaintiffs) brought a lawsuit against the company that operates as Deep River Snacks, Old Lyme Gourmet Co.

Their claim? The chips were labeled “Non-GMO Ingredients,” but that was misleading. It had shoppers believing the chips were verified by a third party, such as the Non-GMO Project.

Spoiler alert: They weren’t.

The complaint said that this misleading labeling deceived consumers into paying more for the granola chips than they would have had they known the accurate packing weight. And now, years of legal wrangling later, a settlement has been reached. And that’s where the $4 million comes in.

If you purchased those chips anytime between Feb. 2, 2017, and Dec. 6, 2024, then you might be eligible for a slice of that settlement pie.

But don’t get too excited. There are a couple of hoops to jump through to get there.

You purchased Deep River potato chips within the relevant time period.
They were the chips with the “Non-GMO Ingredients” emblem on the front.
Doesn’t matter where you’re from, whether it be the U.S. or Canada. So long as you satisfy the above conditions, you can claim.

How Much Money Can You Get?

Now we’re talking. Here is how the cash breaks down:

With Proof of Purchase

First product: $5.00
Each additional product: $0.50
No limit: You can get as many products as you have proof of.

Without Proof of Purchase

First product: $5.00
Each additional product: $0.50
Cap: Only another 10 products.

Combination Claims

What if you have receipts for some transactions but not others? No problem. You can mix and match, and the payments are cumulative.

For example:

If you’ve got receipts for 5 bags, and no proof for the next 5, you’ll receive: $5.00 + ($0.50 x 4) + $5.00 + ($0.50 x 5).

Math is not fun, but the reward could be worthwhile.
