IRVINE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 30, 2016 / Khang & Khang LLP (the “Firm”) announces the filing of a class action lawsuit against Flowers Foods, Inc. (“Flowers Foods” or the “Company”) (NYSE: FLO). Investors, who purchased or otherwise acquired shares between February 7, 2013 and August 10, 2016 inclusive (the “Class Period”), are encouraged to contact the Firm before the October 11, 2016 lead plaintiff motion deadline.

There has been no class certification in this case. Until certification occurs, you are not represented by an attorney. You may choose to take no action and remain a passive class member.

According to the complaint, the Company issued false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: Flowers Foods improperly classified employees as independent contractors; that the misclassification exposed Flowers Foods to legal liability and/or negative regulatory action; that proper classification would have a negative impact on Flowers Foods’ operations; and that as a result of the above, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. On August 10, 2016, the Company announced that the U.S. Department of Labor scheduled a compliance review of Flowers Foods under the Fair Labor Standards Act. After the market closed that day, the Company issued a press release announcing disappointing Q2 2016 financial results. When this information was disclosed to the public, Flowers Foods’ stock price lowered, thus causing investors harm.
