In May 2019, Napoletano was declared guilty although the statute of limitations saved him from serving his two year sentence. “The labeling and appearance of the Products creates an erroneous impression that they contain San Marzano Tomatoes of equivalent quality to those bearing certification by the relevant body,” Sibrian argues in his Cento class action. Required fields are marked *, An amended Cento Fine Foods class action has been filed claiming that the company’s San Marzano tomatoes are actually lower quality tomatoes. The court was not convinced and noted that the qualifying language regarding the certification of Cento’s tomatoes was not included on the packaging itself. These tomatoes are fruits that have been dubbed “the most important industrial tomato[es] of the 20th century,” according to Amy Goldman’s The Heirloom Tomato. In order to circumvent the certification process, Napoletano allegedly led certification agents on inspection tours through “false fields” that were not actually used to produce the used tomatoes. is_confirmation;var mt = parseInt(jQuery('html').css('margin-top'), 10) + parseInt(jQuery('body').css('margin-top'), 10) + 100;if(is_form){jQuery('#gform_wrapper_805').html(form_content.html());if(form_content.hasClass('gform_validation_error')){jQuery('#gform_wrapper_805').addClass('gform_validation_error');} else {jQuery('#gform_wrapper_805').removeClass('gform_validation_error');}setTimeout( function() { /* delay the scroll by 50 milliseconds to fix a bug in chrome */ jQuery(document).scrollTop(jQuery('#gform_wrapper_805').offset().top - mt); }, 50 );if(window['gformInitDatepicker']) {gformInitDatepicker();}if(window['gformInitPriceFields']) {gformInitPriceFields();}var current_page = jQuery('#gform_source_page_number_805').val();gformInitSpinner( 805, 'https://s11284.pcdn.co/wp-content/plugins/gravityforms/images/spinner.gif' );jQuery(document).trigger('gform_page_loaded', [805, current_page]);window['gf_submitting_805'] = false;}else if(!is_redirect){var confirmation_content = jQuery(this).contents().find('.GF_AJAX_POSTBACK').html();if(!confirmation_content){confirmation_content = contents;}setTimeout(function(){jQuery('#gform_wrapper_805').replaceWith(confirmation_content);jQuery(document).scrollTop(jQuery('#gf_805').offset().top - mt);jQuery(document).trigger('gform_confirmation_loaded', [805]);window['gf_submitting_805'] = false;}, 50);}else{jQuery('#gform_805').append(contents);if(window['gformRedirect']) {gformRedirect();}}jQuery(document).trigger('gform_post_render', [805, current_page]);} );} );
