Kraft Sued Over All-Natural Label For Capri Sun

Kraft previously faced a lawsuit over its "all-natural" Capri Sun in 2007.

A northern California man earlier this month filed a class action lawsuit against Kraft Foods, which alleged that the company's Capri Sun juice contained artificial ingredients despite its label as "all-natural."

The filing on behalf of Yuri Osborne said that Capri Sun included "unnatural ingredients" including citric acid and "natural flavor." The lawsuit seeks $5 million in damages, court costs and class status for consumers that purchased Capri Sun over the past four years.

β€œThe market for all natural foods has grown rapidly in the past few years, a trend [Kraft] seeks to take advantage of through the subject false and misleading advertising,” attorneys wrote in the filing, according to Legal Newsline.

Kraft previously faced a lawsuit over its "all-natural" Capri Sun in 2007, when a Florida woman sued over the company's use of high-fructose corn syrup. The company eventually changed the label and the lawsuit was dropped.
