Consumers sue Starbucks over “sugarfree” protein drinks alleged to contain 13–21 grams of sugar per serving

AI مارکیٹ کا خلاصہ
A federal consumer lawsuit alleges Starbucks marketed protein drinks as "sugarfree" despite containing 13–21g of sugar per serving, seeking nationwide damages and an injunction on labeling. Starbucks denies misleading consumers, citing sugar from protein milk and disclosed nutrition data. The headline risk raises near-term reputational and legal-cost overhang and could increase scrutiny of marketing claims across beverage and packaged-food categories.

U.S. consumers have filed a federal lawsuit against Starbucks, alleging its “sugarfree” protein drinks contain 13 to 21 grams of sugar per serving—an amount the suit compares to a Kit Kat bar. The plaintiffs argue the “sugarfree” label would mislead a reasonable consumer. The case seeks damages for consumers nationwide, and asks the court to order Starbucks to stop using the “sugarfree” label on products that contain sugar. Starbucks has not publicly responded.
