Capri-Sun class action alleges juice pouches contain synthetic ingredients

Capri-Sun class action lawsuit overview:

• Who: Plaintiff Alyssa Flexer filed a class action lawsuit against Kraft Heinz Food Company.
• Why: Flexer claims Kraft Heinz falsely advertises its Capri-Sun juice pouches as containing all natural ingredients.
• Where: The Capri-Sun class action lawsuit was filed in New York federal court.

A new class action lawsuit alleges Kraft Heinz falsely advertises that its Capri-Sun juice pouches contain all natural ingredients.

Plaintiff Alyssa Flexer claims in the Jan. 24 lawsuit that the Capri-Sun juice pouches contain citric acid, a synthetic ingredient, despite Kraft Heinz’s advertising of all natural ingredients.

“Defendant makes this claim in order to capitalize on consumers’ preference for natural foods that do not contain synthetic ingredients,” the class action says.

Flexer wants to represent a nationwide class and New York subclass of consumers who purchased Capri-Sun juice pouches for personal, family or household consumption and not for resale.

She claims Kraft Heinz is guilty of unjust enrichment, breach of express warranty and of violating New York General Business Law.

Plaintiff claims Kraft Heinz profited ‘enormously’ from falsely advertising Capri-Sun products

Flexer argues Kraft Heinz profits “enormously” from falsely advertising that its Capri-Sun juice pouches contain all natural ingredients.

“The purpose of this action is to require Defendant to change its labeling claims and to provide consumers with monetary relief for its deceptive and misleading product claims,” the Capri-Sun class action says.

Flexer claims she would not have purchased Capri-Sun juice pouches, or would have paid less for them, had she known they contained synthetic ingredients.

The plaintiff demands a jury trial and requests declaratory and injunctive relief and an award of compensatory, statutory and punitive damages for herself and all class members.

Last year, Kraft Heinz Foods Company was slapped with a class action lawsuit alleging it falsely advertises that its Capri-Sun products are made with “All Natural Ingredients.”
