Ocean Spray Class Action Lawsuit Alleges Mislabeling
By Consider The Consumer on September 25, 2017
Recently, a Class Action for false advertising was filed against Ocean Spray for their labeling and advertising of their juice products. According to the Ocean Spray Class Action complaint, the company used phrases such as "no high fructose corn syrup" and, "no artificial colors or flavors," but the products contain artificial flavoring chemicals that simulate the advertised fruit flavors such as "Cran Apple" and "Cran Grape."
It's cases like these that really upset us at Consider The Consumer. When it comes down to it, as consumers, we rely on companies to tell us the truth in what we are not only purchasing but putting into our bodies. When news such as the above breaks, it's disheartening, as we can never be too sure about the food we are consuming, or the products we are buying. We must begin to hold companies to different standards, and not allow them to continually break our trust, only to regain it after covering up their wrongdoing. It's class action lawsuits like these that are most important to consumers.
