What specific claim does Danone make about Chobani's '20G Protein' yogurt labeling?

Danone alleges that Chobani inflates protein claims on its 'Chobani 20G Protein' multi-serving tubs by using non-standard, larger serving sizes — resulting in fewer than 18 grams of protein per serving if measured according to FDA serving-size rules — despite marketing it as a direct rival to Danone's Oikos Pro, which delivers 20 grams of protein per standard 5.3-ounce serving.

Why does Danone argue Chobani's labeling is misleading to consumers and healthcare decision-makers?

Danone argues the labeling is misleading because Chobani positions its '20G Protein' yogurt as an ultra-high-protein option comparable to Oikos Pro, while allegedly concealing that its actual protein content per FDA-compliant serving falls short (below 18g), making it more similar to Danone's lower-priced Oikos Triple Zero (15–18g/serving); Danone further states this deception is 'particularly insidious' given that healthcare providers and the federal government advise the public to choose foods with higher protein concentrations for health maintenance.
