What is the no added sugar lawsuit investigation about?
When you see a product advertised as “zero sugar” or having “no added sugar,” you may expect that product to be a better option. However, attorneys are investigating whether some companies are using alternative sweeteners that are still considered types of sugar while marketing their products as sugar-free.
The investigation focuses on allegations that:
- Some products are prominently marketed as “zero sugar,” “zero added sugar,” “no added sugar” or “sugar-free.”
- These zero sugar products may contain sweeteners, such as allulose, D-mannose, D-ribose, D-tagatose, L-arabinose or trehalose.
- Although these ingredients are different from regular table sugar, they are still considered types of sugar and may act like regular sugar when consumed.
- Attorneys are investigating whether companies misled shoppers with sugar-related claims while still using these hidden sugars to sweeten their products.
If you purchased one of these products because of a “zero sugar,” “no added sugar” or similar claim, you may qualify to take legal action.
