(December 2, 2019, 10:32 AM EST) -- PASADENA, Calif. — Partially affirming, the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals on Nov. 27 held that a lower federal court properly dismissed a claim for violation of California’s unfair competition law (UCL) in a dispute arising from a frozen fruit mixture containing pomegranate arils that were contaminated with the hepatitis A virus, concluding that the lower court properly interpreted that the jury did not find the pomegranate arils supplier fully liable for the pomegranate adulteration (Townsend Farms, Inc. v. United Juice Corp., et al., Nos. 18-55067 and 18-55068, 9th Cir., 2019 U.S. App. LEXIS 35589)....
