Coca-Cola Asks Judge To Dismiss Health Messaging Complaint On Minute Maid Boxes
Responding to a federal class action filed a few months ago, which sought Coca-Cola to cease claims on packaging that its 6oz. Minute Maid juice boxes are “good for you,” the company has requested the claims are dismissed. The complaint cites expert opinion claiming that fruit juice is unhealthy and can increase the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. An attorney for Coca-Cola argued that the packaging does not mislead consumers and that the claims are part of implied and explicit nutrient claims, allowed under FDA rules, and that the packaging explains that the juice has zero added sugar and vitamin C. US District Judge Vincent Chhabria, however, said that the messaging’s “clear implication” is that the juice actively contributes to a healthy diet, and that pictures of fruit on the box could suggest to consumers that the juice was as healthy as eating unprocessed fruit. Chhabria promised to issue a ruling in the coming weeks.
