What is Evaporated Cane Juice?

Americans are becoming increasingly health conscious and rely on a product’s ingredients list to make wise choices about the food they consumed.

Laws have been enacted specifically to ensure that product labels contain accurate nutrition information about the content of food. But it has been alleged in class action lawsuits across the country that the practice of labeling sugar as “evaporated cane juice,” is both misleading and illegal. The controversy surrounding the relatively new ingredient term has left many asking just what is evaporated cane juice?

With the rise of Atkins and other carbohydrate-conscious diets, many consumers have begun to shun high-sugar foods. With this in mind, some food companies have begun to label sugar as “evaporated cane juice” instead of “sugar,” in an alleged effort to mislead sugar-conscious consumers, evaporated cane juice class action lawsuits allege.

Technically, sugar is evaporated cane juice, since one of the more common methods of making sugar is to dry out the juice from cane brakes. This is where the term “cane juice” comes from. However, it is possible that the term “juice” misleads consumers who are not aware of this, and some may think that juice means that it is healthier than sugar.

In the United States, laws exist that govern false advertising. These laws make it illegal for a company to market their products in a misleading way. The laws that govern false advertising often include provisions that allow for civil actions—lawsuits—as a part of their enforcement.

This provides a deterrent against breaking the law, and a means of compensation when consumers are misled. Typically false advertising lawsuits take the form of class action lawsuits, a type of group lawsuit since false advertisement typically affects more than one person.

Typically, a group of allegedly-wronged parties band together to file such a suit against a single company or individual. These individuals are called plaintiffs and class members. Others may join the lawsuit during its progress.

Group lawsuits like class action suits are designed to save time, money, and other resources for all parties involved. For example, plaintiffs can pool their resources together, defendants only face a single suit, and the legal system only has to hear a single case.

A class action lawsuit investigation has been launched to explore the possibility of legal action against manufacturers who allegedly used the term “evaporated cane juice” to hide the presence of sugar in their products. The evaporated cane juice class action lawsuit investigation is currently seeking individuals who used the following products, read the ingredient list,and were misled by the term “evaporated cane juice”:
