I have never purchased these products.
I don’t like chocolate.
Please don’t send me any rebates.
you dont have to tell them to not send you anything to be a part of the suit you have to file a claim. just wanted to fyi you on how this works.
I have often purchased Ghiradelli chocolates for baking and eating.
I have purchased this brand for years simply because it’s delicious. I hate that the company has been deceptive with consumers concerning it’s ingredients.
I purchase many types of these products. From the bars for snacking, to the backing chips for all manners of cooking. Please add me to the suit.
For pete’s sake look up the URL listed and file a claim electronically or by mail (i believe that you have a choice of preference).

I have even used this brand in a Mole dish i make. I hate being lied to first of all. But love it when a lawyer puts a liar in check.. Yup i am signing up. to bad i don’t have all the stupid receipts from all the times i have bought this or they would have to cut me a bigger check
purchased this brand over the yrs because thought it was a better brand,,,,
I purchase these all the time. My husband loves the chocolate especially the white chocolate. I my self prefer the assorted.
I purchase Ghirardelli chocolates and these products for years but never kept my receipts.
ADMIN
Hi Dolores,
You can still file for a refund even without a receipt. Just follow the simple steps provided on the website under “file my claim”.
I have purchased Ghirardelli white chocolate for years.
That’s all I buy at least 2 a month–I expect a refund
Why would they even try something like that. We who use their product s for years should get what we pay for. Not yo-yo ed. Come on guys. play fair.
If y’all are fans of Ghirardelli, you shouldn’t be taking advantage of this. Shame on you, unless you were truly misled by them!
I have bought several of these products over the years to give as gifts as well as for personal use.
I have also bought many of this product and happen to love it so what is this a scam
I love the chocolate, bought it a lot. to bad, so sad,
At least once a month for years I buy this brand. It’s always been my favorite
I will take my $24 and buy more Ghirardelli chocolate. Mmmmmmm
I have purchased many of these products since 2006 dark and white chocolate bars.
Please add me. I buy their product all the time!
I buy Ghirardelli at least once a month and have been doing for the past 10 years….when I came to know the product.
I have purchased many sea salt and almond chocolates during this time frame.
Really? I have bought probably 10 or so of a variety of their products for baking or putting out in a dish over the last several years. Not because they were “healthy” or “all natural” or “white chocolate”; but because they are awesome. Because it is the best chocolate to bake with and those squares with caramel or mint or whatever inside are yummy.
People like you guys just drive the price up by these retarded lawsuits. Instead of learning “oh my, its not pure chocolate! I will find the chocolate I want and just I won’t buy this one anymore” you have to go file a freakin’ lawsuit. So typical of Americans.
I agree completely. Anybody who truly bakes knows that “white chocolate” is not really chocolate, so taking part in this lawsuit settlement is ridiculous. I will continue to use this product faithfully. Thanks.
I usually buy these as presents and I use the white chocolate chops and semi sweet chocolate chips all the time when I bake…..I have bought at least 10 bags over the years
I can’t count how many of the chips and gift bags I have bought from Sam’s and walgreens for myself and Co workers as thank you’s. A minimum of 15.

I have bought lots too, still do and will. I am disappointed to learn not all natural. I can say that was never the number one reason for buying, however it was the swaying factor between this and other brands many times. So I feel a bit duped. I’d like to know more info about the guidelines of what is all natural and why these are not, or they are not fighting it being so. What is in it that isn’t natural, what percentage of total product. I will fill out the form. Too bad I didn’t save all my receipts.

My action did not target the taste of Ghirardelli products, only their “All Natural” claims and the fact that many of the white chips are not actually chocolate but just candy. As to gifts, is your intention gifting a Brand Name or gifting quality chocolate?

ADMIN
The deadline is 3/19
Does anyone know if this case on appeal?
it gave me the flu
Hello,
I have read on this for a while now, and unfortunately see that the deadline was last month. However, I’ve spent several hard earned dollars on this award winning chocolate, and would appreciate being added to this action. My boyfriend and I absolutely LOVE this chocolate, especially the white chocolate squares, and just about every other flavor we have been lucky enough to try.
We eat these products all the time. I don’t like being lied to. The term “All Natural” is being used too loosely.
We purchase several of your products
If you missed the deadline you’re too late. If in the future you want to be added, you file a claim by scrolling up and clicking the link, not commenting in the comment section.
