NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 31, 2016 / Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC notifies investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Flower Foods, Inc. ("Flower Foods" or the "Company") (NYSE: FLO) and certain of its officers. The class action was filed on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased Flower Foods securities between February 7, 2013 through August 10, 2016, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period").

This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period defendants issued false and misleading statements to investors and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Flowers Foods was inappropriately classifying employees as independent contractors; (2) this improper documentation exposed Flowers Foods to legal liability and/or negative regulatory action; (3) correct and proper classification would have a negative impact on Flowers Foods' operations; and (4) consequentially, Flowers Foods' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
