Key Takeaways:
Law firm Levi & Korsinsky has launched an investigation into Freshpet Inc. (FRPT) for potential violations of federal securities laws following a March 17 ruling.
The investigation was announced on April 6, 2026, according to a press release from the law firm, concerning a ruling by the National Advertising Division (NAD).
