据食品导航网站消息,去年10月份,美国公益科学中心(CSPI)指控百事公司一款果蔬汁饮料标签涉嫌误导消费者,目前百事已经完善产品标签。
据了解,这款饮料的名称为“Naked Juice”果蔬汁。美国公共利益科学中心称,这款产品的标签上用图片突出了巴西莓和羽衣甘蓝等为主要配料,然而实际上主要配料为价钱低廉、营养价值不高的苹果汁、橙汁等成分。因此该组织认为,这涉嫌误导消费者。百事公司对此回应称,已经按照有关建议完善标签。
部分原文报道如下:
The CSPI had accused PepsiCo of “misleadingly marketing Naked Juice as predominantly containing high-value ingredients such as acai berry and kale, when the predominant ingredient is usually cheap, nutrient-poor apple juice.”
Naked Juice will make certain changes to the way it labels and markets its products, such as changing the imagery when necessary to reflect the predominant ingredients. The composition of the beverages will not change.
PepsiCo says it has listened to the CSPI in order to improve the information offered to consumers. PepsiCo continues to 'expressly deny' the allegations made by the lawsuit, but through the settlement the parties say an agreement has been made without any admission of wrongdoing.
