Capri-Sun class action alleges ‘100% juice’ drink contains synthetic ingredients

Capri-Sun class action overview:

• Who: Plaintiff Tyisha Danzy filed a class action lawsuit against The Kraft Heinz Company, doing business as Capri-Sun.
• Why: Danzy alleges the company misrepresented its Capri-Sun 100% Juice Fruit Punch drink as containing only juice when it also contains synthetic, non-natural citric acid.
• Where: The Capri-Sun class action was filed in a California federal court.

A new class action lawsuit alleges Kraft Heinz misled consumers by labeling its Capri-Sun 100% Juice Fruit Punch as containing only juice when it contains synthetic, non-natural citric acid.

Plaintiff Tyisha Danzy filed the class action complaint against Kraft Heinz in California federal court, alleging violations of state and federal consumer protection laws.

Danzy claims that Kraft Heinz’s Capri-Sun 100% Juice Fruit Punch drink is falsely advertised as being made entirely from juice. She claims that the product contains synthetic citric acid, a non-natural preservative and flavor additive.

The lawsuit argues that the labeling misleads consumers into thinking the product is composed solely of fruit and fruit-derived ingredients.

Capri-Sun class action claims consumers pay premium for ‘100% juice’ label

Danzy says she purchased the Capri-Sun drink from Costco in February 2025, relying on the label’s claim that it was “100% Juice.” She argues she paid a premium for the product, believing it was made exclusively from juice.

“Had Plaintiff known that Defendant’s representations and warranties about the Product were false and misleading, Plaintiff would not have purchased the Product or would have paid substantially less for it,” the Capri-Sun class action says.

The lawsuit claims that Kraft Heinz’s labeling violates several California laws, including the Consumers Legal Remedies Act, the Unfair Competition Law and the False Advertising Law. Danzy also alleges breach of express warranty.

Danzy seeks to represent anyone in the United States who purchased the Capri-Sun drink as well as a California subclass. The lawsuit is seeking class certification, damages, restitution and an injunction to prevent Kraft Heinz from continuing to market the product as “100% Juice.”

In January, another consumer filed a class action lawsuit against Kraft Heinz, alleging it falsely advertised that its Capri-Sun juice pouches contain all-natural ingredients.
