Starbucks sues over sugar-free drinks

Consumers have filed a lawsuit against Starbucks claiming that the company failed to disclose that its protein drinks advertised as "sugar-free" actually contain between 13 and 21 grams of sugar in a 20 to 24-ounce container. They alleged that Starbucks used the label "sugar-free" despite the drinks containing lactose. They pointed out that US law prohibits the use of this label for beverages containing more than 0.5 grams of sugar per 12 ounces. The lawsuit states that Starbucks exploited the general American desire to reduce sugar intake and did not clarify that its drinks are neither low-calorie nor designed for weight management. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages in a case filed in a Seattle court, citing false advertising and violations of consumer protection laws. The company has not issued an official statement.
