The Aurora Dairy controversy has spread to the retailers, as lawsuits seeking class-action status have be filed alleging “that Costco Wholesale Corp., Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Target Corp., Safeway Inc. and Wild Oats Markets Inc. sold Aurora’s milk under their own in-house brand names.”

Aurora itself is currently being sued by consumers in 27 states for selling milk labeled “organic” that was not produced in accordance with National Organic Program regulations. Aurora Dairy denies that the milk was non-organic.

“Any lawsuits claiming the milk we were selling was not organic have no merit,” a spokesperson told the Associated Press.
