The giant meat producer JBS was accused of making misleading claims about its greenhouse gas emission goals to boost sales among environmentally conscious consumers in a lawsuit filed Wednesday by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
The lawsuit filed in a state court in New York City alleges that the company claimed it will achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 despite having no viable plan to meet that commitment. The lawsuit names as defendants JBS USA Food Company and JBS USA Food Company Holdings, the American subsidiary of the world-leading producer of beef products based in Brazil.
James says the company made misleading statements about its pledges to curb deforestation and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to capitalize on consumers’ desire to make climate friendly choices.
The lawsuit cites a full-page JBS USA advertisement in The New York Times in 2021 that includes the line: “Agriculture can be part of the climate solution. Bacon, chicken wings and steak with net-zero emissions. It’s possible.”

Beat me to it!
What nonsense referencing 2040 net zero.
So much for Governor Hochul’s claim that businesses don’t have to worry about New York State.
Another company going to a red state.
Hauled into court because your goal for 2040 seems unrealistic to somebody?
Yeah, we’re screwed.
Don’t worry, we’re only going to target Trump.
I hate to break this to you, but there is not a truly red state in the nation.
No state has secured its elections.
No state has protected its budget from Deep State.
We won’t be voting-with-our-feet our way out of this.
You’re probably right.
I wish to God I weren’t.
So they don’t want housing and office buildings and they don’t want food. Anything else on the commiecrat agenda for NY State.
Steadily killing our food supply.
go out of biz in 2039, bingo zero emissions, only these idiots would sue into the future.
Exactly. If I was a business owner in New York State, and I hadn’t made plans to flee after the Trump ruling, I will be doing so immediately. If physically possible to relocate, that would be done. If not, say, a restaurant, or similar establishment, I would be laying off every employee, immediately winding down the business and selling off any Remaining physical assets at auction.
Yet, all were told only Trump would be targeted.
Embrace the suck, NY businesses.
Trump is right, again.
