I believe it would depend if the state where Hershey is located, i.e.,
Pennsylvania has a "food libel" law on the books. If it does, I would think
Hershey would have an excellent basis for a suit; probably much better
than the Texas cattlemen who sued Oprah Winfrey over her "mad cow
disease" episode. They first had the "food libel" portion of their suit
thrown out by a judge then lost the remainder by jury.

Only my opinion and not endorsed or aknowledged by my employer...
