A federal judge in Chicago has dismissed a proposed class action lawsuit accusing Walmart Inc. of deceiving shoppers by selling Fudge Mint cookies that lacked fudge and mint.

Eugene DeMaso, of La Salle, Illinois, said packaging for the cookies sold under Walmart’s Great Value label misled reasonable consumers because the cookies’ “fudge” contained no milkfat and its “mint” contained no mint ingredients.
