The litigation, pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, covers shareholders who purchased stock between October 24, 2024, and April 8, 2026. Plaintiffs allege Simply Good executives failed to disclose that a raw material sourcing error for pea protein compromised the taste and texture of OWYN products as they aged, triggering a cascade of negative consumer reviews.
Simply Good Foods Faces Class Action Over OWYN Acquisition Failures
Investors who lost over $100,000 in The Simply Good Foods Company stock now face an October 13, 2026, deadline to seek lead plaintiff status in a securities class action. The lawsuit centers on allegations that the company concealed critical product quality issues following its $280 million acquisition of OWYN.
These quality issues surfaced publicly on October 23, 2025, when the company reported a sharp decline in growth and issued lower-than-expected sales guidance. The stock price dropped more than 17% following the disclosure. The situation worsened on April 9, 2026, when the company revealed a 17% year-over-year contraction in OWYN sales and recorded a $187 million impairment charge. Shares subsequently fell another 27% over two trading days.
