On 25 November, Heather Erwin and Ashley Price filed a lawsuit against Jimmy John's for misleading customers about its contents on their Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookies and Raisin Oatmeal Cookies, alleging since it contained non-natural ingredients like refined flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid, sugar, milk powder, soy lecithin, and baking soda, all of which claims a consumer would consider as "on-natural, artificial, and/or highly processed" ingredients.
