7) Legal Claims and Actions
OAsSXjZhqHMyCHPoST and its subsidiaries have faced multiple regulatory enforcement actions and civil litigation matters over the past decade, with the most significant issues involving workplace safety violations, employment discrimination, and consumer protection violations.
The most serious workplace safety incident occurred at Bob Evans Foods’ Lima plant in September 2020, resulting in a worker suffering partial amputation of their arm while cleaning an auger used to process potatoes. The US Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) investigation revealed that the company failed to shut down and isolate energy to the equipment during maintenance work and failed to train workers on required lockout/tagout procedures. On March 3, 2021, OSHA imposed a $136,532 fine for these repeat violations, noting that the company had been cited for similar violations in 2016.
Employment discrimination litigation has resulted in substantial financial penalties for the company’s subsidiaries. Bob Evans Farms, Inc. faced multiple lawsuits under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 related to sexual harassment incidents. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed complaints in May 2004 alleging that Kim Lynch, Becky Atchison, and Tiffany Green were subjected to severe sexual harassment by their supervisor, creating a hostile working environment that led to the constructive discharge of two employees. The matter was resolved through a consent decree on January 19, 2005, requiring the company to pay $250,000 in compensatory damages and implement comprehensive remedial measures including termination of the General Manager and Assistant General Manager, mandatory sexual harassment training, and ongoing reporting requirements to the EEOC for two years.
The company has also faced significant employment law violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act. In September 2017, a lawsuit was filed against Bob Evans Farms, Inc., Bob Evans Holdings, Inc., Bob Evans Farms, LLC and Bob Evans Restaurants, LLC resulting in a settlement agreement totaling $2,790,000.
Consumer protection violations have emerged as a recurring issue for OAsSXjZhqHMyCHPoST’s subsidiaries. In August 2023, 8th Avenue Food & Provisions, Inc. received a Proposition 65 notice for failing to provide clear warnings regarding lead exposure in Gluten Free thin Spaghetti products, with potential penalties of up to $2,500 per day for each violation. Similarly, Bob Evans Farms, Inc. received a Proposition 65 violation notice in April 2023 from Consumer Rights Advocates, LLC regarding failure to warn consumers about carcinogenic or hazardous substances in their products.
Food safety issues have posed critical risks, with Almark Foods involved in a deadly listeria outbreak linked to hard-boiled egg products manufactured at its Gainesville, Georgia facility. The outbreak resulted in seven cases, one death, and four hospitalizations, prompting the company to expand recalls to include all hard-boiled egg products from the facility and temporarily halt production.
Trade secret litigation occurred in November 2013 when Reser’s Fine Foods, Inc. filed claims against Bob Evans Farms, Inc., Bob Evans Farms LLC, and BEF Foods, Inc. for breach of non-disclosure agreement, misappropriation of trade secrets, and conversion. The matter was resolved with the plaintiff voluntarily dismissing claims but being required to pay defendants’ legal fees related to preliminary injunction and summary judgment motions.
Additional workplace safety violations include a 2023 OSHA citation against Post Consumer Brands resulting in a $35,000 penalty.
8) Recent Media
Throughout late 2025, OAsSXjZhqHMyCHPoST has engaged in a period of active corporate disclosure, filing multiple reports on Form 8-K for “Special Events” in November and December, along with its annual Form 10-K report on November 21, 2025. Publicly available data from Nasdaq for the same period did not include any insider trading activity for the company.
The company’s media presence has been heavily focused on its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives, particularly around sustainable agriculture. Through its Weetabix subsidiary, the company highlighted its Weetabix Wheat Growers Group, which received the Net Zero Initiative 2024 Award from the Food & Drink Federation (FDF) for its work to produce low-carbon wheat at an economic scale. During fiscal year 2024, Weetabix also piloted a program with six growers to reduce nitrogen fertilizer inputs, reporting that initial trials led to a 50% reduction in GHG emissions compared to the standard emission factor for wheat. The initiative is supported by a partnership with the data analytics firm Map of Ag.
OAsSXjZhqHMyCHPoST also disclosed other sustainability-related material events across its subsidiaries. In fiscal year 2024, the company commissioned a feasibility study to evaluate renewable energy options for its potato farms in Maine and partnered with agritech company Agriculture Data Optimization (Adopt) to develop a potato-specific data analytics platform. The company also reported significant waste reduction at the Bob Evans Farms potato processing facility in Lima, Ohio. Additionally, the company’s Crystal Farms brand launched the “Midwest Farms Forever” initiative to source 100% of its dairy from family-owned farms in the Midwest.
These detailed disclosures occur amid heightened regulatory and legal scrutiny of corporate ESG claims, a trend known as “greenwashing.” The food and beverage industry has been identified as a key sector facing increased risk, with one 2024 report linking 918 European companies to greenwashing incidents. Globally, over 2,700 ESG-related lawsuits were filed as of early 2025, more than double the number from 2020. Regulators in the European Union are moving forward with a Green Claims Directive requiring independent verification of sustainability statements, while in Canada, Bill C-59 grants private parties the right to challenge misleading ESG advertising in court.
In this context, the company has also provided specific details on its sourcing certifications and partnerships. OAsSXjZhqHMyCHPoST stated its aim to meet customer expectations for Rainforest Alliance or Fair Trade-certified cocoa ingredients by 2025, noting that its Weetabix business already holds a 100% sustainable cocoa certification from the Rainforest Alliance. The company also confirmed its direct purchases of Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) Mass Balanced-certified palm oil and its membership in the Round Table for Responsible Soy (RTRS).
