TCA Staff Tidbit: Dannon Activia YogurtWho doesn't love Yogurt? It's good, and good for you! No one is disputing that fact. In this class action the dispute seems to arise from claims that Dannon Activia yogurt and DanActive yogurt are "clinically proven" to help your digestive system. While some of the ingredients in Dannon Activia and DanActive yogurts are show to have a posivite effect on the immune system we weren't able to find any independent clinical studies which show that the Dannon product itself has this effect.

 

DanActive Yogurt DrinkThat's why these types of class action lawsuits are getting settled. Unless you have performed an independent, heavily verified, clinical study it's typically unlawful to claim that your product helps your body in a specific way. In addition, if you are going to make these claims, often times they need to be approved by the FDA. While the claims may help sales they tend to mislead the consumer buying the product. Now, lets get serious, a $35,000,000 class action settlement to Dannon is just a drop in the bucket when it comes to Activia sales and won't hurt them much (though it sure will get the point accross!) If you purchase Activia yogurt, make sure to submit your claim! Don't miss out, especially since online claims are accepted!

    Interesting, I've been hearing this very thing for years about Activia, that's why I never wasted my money on anything other than regular yogurt. ; )

    I thought it tasted good, but I was hoping that the claims were true... unfortunately, for me, they weren't. I REALLY could have been alot happier if it were true.

    Ridiculous law suits like this raise the price
    of products for all consumers. So while you
    may profit a small amount, you cause the price
    of food to continue to skyrocket.

    I have tried, with no results, still had to use other methods to achieve regular movements. And it actually had the opposite affect.:-(

    Activia does help regulate your digestive system. It's the other copycat companies that have not done any trials and that are jumping on the probiotics ship that should be stopped. Dannon's the target because they are the biggest player. Activia has 30 yrs of research, 30+ clinical studies, yet other competitors are launching probiotic yogurt with no research and their probiotics haven't even been proven not to counteract each other's effects! BTW, Regularis is the trademarked name of the probiotic...of course it's not meant to pretend to be scientific (if you don't name it, others will copy it so you have no choice). The truth is that a lot of people are enjoying better digestive health because of Activia, whether or not the extent of that benefit differs from person to person or not.

    One more thing...not many people know this, but the FDA/health authorities are also behind on understanding the scope of the probiotic arena. Since it's a new trend, they also have to 'catch up' to define what is acceptable and what can/can't be said on television or claimed in general. When you are leading a trend, you will always have resistance and some people that don't believe you are meeting certain criteria. In any case, whether or not Activia meets the standards needed to charge a premium which i believe it does (plus it tastes great), the light should really be shining on the copycats (Yoplait among others) that are jumping into this probiotic craze blindly and don't have the research or scientific proof to back up ANY of their claims. I'd still rather pay 50 cents more for a yogurt with healthy bacteria, than a cheap yogurt that's 90% filler and doesn't taste half as good.

    If you have problems with your gut eating this should help. It may get worse before it gets better but the bacteria contained in it creates a cleansing of the digestive system hence more symptoms. It can also boost your immune system. Do some study!! I think lawsuits like this are ruining our system and padding the pockets of lawyers.
