CINCINNATI, Ohio -- The Applebee's restaurant chain and Weight Watchers are facing another lawsuit alleging the Cajun Lime Tilapia fish dish on some menus contains more fat and diet "points" than listed. A suit by an Ohio woman has been transferred from a county court to a federal court in Cincinnati and combined with one filed in Kansas.
The cases allege fraud and negligence, as well as a conspiracy to conceal the accurate nutritional information from consumers. An Applebee's spokeswoman did not immediately respond to an email Wednesday seeking comment. Applebee's Weight Watchers' menus list calories, fat and the number of "points" that each meal would total for people using the Weight Watchers diet system.
