Class Action Lawsuit Challenges Schweppes, Canada Dry Ginger Ale ‘Naturally Flavored’ Claims
A recent class action lawsuit is taking on Keurig Dr Pepper, Inc. for allegedly misleading consumers about the natural flavors in Schweppes and Canada Dry ginger ales. The lawsuit claims that these products are labeled as “naturally flavored” when they actually contain synthetic flavoring agents.
According to the lawsuit, the labels on Schweppes and Canada Dry ginger ale varieties prominently display claims like “Naturally flavored with other natural flavors” or “Natural Ginger Flavor.” However, the complaint alleges that these beverages are actually flavored with DL malic acid, a synthetic compound processed in petrochemical plants.
The lawsuit includes several Schweppes and Canada Dry products, such as Schweppes Diet Ginger Ale, Canada Dry Zero Sugar Ginger Ale, and more. Under state and federal laws, products with artificial flavors must be clearly labeled as such. The lawsuit argues that since these products do not disclose the presence of synthetic flavoring agents, they are misbranded and illegal to sell.
The lawsuit aims to represent anyone in the United States who purchased the affected beverages since November 1, 2018. If you have purchased these products, you may be covered by this class action lawsuit.
