Lawsuit: Snapple “Acai Blackberry Juice” Had No Acai and No Blackberry Juice
Sunday, August 16, 2009
Snapple claims to be made of the best stuff on earth. That’s assuming corn syrup belongs on the list. Stacy Holk of New Jersey doesn’t think so, which is why she filed a lawsuit against Snapple and its claim that the ingredients in its drinks are “all natural.” One example cited in the case involves Snapple’s Acai Blackberry Juice—which does not contain Acai juice or blackberry juice, but pear juice and corn syrup instead. Holk’s lawsuit was dismissed by a lower court, only to be revived on Friday by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in Philadelphia.
