What is the core allegation Danone made against Chobani in its latest lawsuit, and why does Danone consider it misleading?

Danone sued Chobani in Manhattan federal court, accusing it of inflating protein claims on labels for its multi-serving tubs of Chobani 20G Protein, which Danone calls a direct rival to its Oikos Pro line; Danone alleges Chobani’s multi-serve labeling inflates serving size, making protein content appear higher per serving and thus misleading consumers and preventing accurate product comparisons.
