Nonprofit nutrition watchdog the Center for Science in the Public Interest has notified three big food makers that it will file lawsuits if the companies refuse to change product claims that CPSI alleges are unauthorized and illegal.
CSPI notified Kraft Foods that it will sue Kraft if it continues to use the word “natural” in connection with its Crystal Light Natural Lemonade, Natural Pink Lemonade, Natural Lemon Iced Tea and Natural Lemon Decaffeinated Iced Tea.
CSPI asserts that Kraft is misleading consumers by using "natural" in its marketing of Crystal Light products that contain artificial sweeteners aspartame and acesulfame-potassium; artificial colors such as Red 40, Yellow 5, and Blue 1; the factory-produced texturizer maltodextrin; and the synthetic preservative butylated hydroxyanisole, or BHA.
