Lawsuit over Denny’s sodium levels thrown out
The lawsuit that we told you about back in July in which a New Jersey man backed by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) filed a class-action lawsuit against Denny’s to try to force the restaurant chain to disclose the amount of sodium in its menu items has been thrown out of court, according to this story from Nation’s Restaurant News.
The NRN story says a judge dismissed the complaint because the plaintiff, Nick DeBenedetto, could not prove injury under New Jersey’s personal liability and consumer protection laws, but the litigation director for the CSPI and an attorney for DeBenedetto, said they planned to amend the lawsuit and appeal the judge’s decision.
So it appears we haven’t heard the last of the “salt suit.”
The Taste post back in July generated quite a robust response from readers.

bob, You are a dumba**. You have a right to know what you put in YOUR OWN FOOD. If you don’t like that a restaurant doesn’t tell you something, then don’t eat at that restaurant. Simple enough. I very highly doubt anybody with heart problems is being strapped into a booth at Denny’s and forced to either eat their food or starve.

You go to eat at Denny’s and expect anything but fried salty food. That’s what makes the food so good. Unless of course you are a money hungery lawyer. SUE SUE SUE Thats the american way. What a bunch of idiots.

If you want to destroy a company, file a law suit. There is a high cost to defend any suit. The plantiff and their attorney has the opportunity to make a large sum of money. Also please tell me what gives them the right to act on my behalf without my permssion. It is a direct attack on capitalism.

Pelple have a right to know how much sodium is in their food. Heart patients can end up hospitalized if they eat too much salt.

Here’s where we are: if you hate someone else’s God, sue them. If you hate a restaurant because of their menu, sue them. This is not what the United States was meant to be.
By not perfect, just right!

Here’s a novel solution-if you’re concerned about what a restaurant serves, DON’T GO to that restaurant. What a concept! If the rest of us want to be fat and salty, then by golly leave us alone! I’m tired of people trying to regulate and judge my life. Adhere to a great bumper sticker I saw: “Your life is not my problem”….so there.
