Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California Edward M. Chen, District Judge, Presiding D.C. No. 3:21-cv-05568-EMC

Before: GOULD, BERZON, and IKUTA, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM [*]

Rivka Steinberg appeals the district court's order granting Icelandic Provisions' motion to dismiss her complaint for failure to state a claim. We have jurisdiction, see 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Steinberg's complaint fails to allege that the product's front label would deceive a reasonable consumer to believe that the product is manufactured in Iceland, because the front label's "ambiguity [is] resolved by reference to the back label," which accurately states that the product is manufactured in New York. McGinity v. Procter &Gamble Co., No. 22-15080, __ F.4th __ (9th Cir. 2023).

AFFIRMED.

[*] This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
