Julie Fletcher of Bolivar, New York filed a lawsuit on July 10 against Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, claiming she was misled about the possible health benefits of Canada Dry ginger ale.
For years, Fletcher has drank Canada Dry to soothe her and her kids’ stomach aches, because the can says it’s made with ginger, a natural cure for nausea and other ailments.
The lawsuit cites lab testing that shows that ginger is not a significant ingredient in Canada Dry, making up less than two parts per million of the soft drink.
Dr. Pepper Snapple Group did not respond to Business Insider’s request for comment on the suit.
If you thought a glass of Canada Dry soothed your stomach on your last flight, it could be all in your head.
The soft drink’s parent company, Dr. Pepper Snapple Group (DPSG), was hit with a new lawsuit earlier this month, by a woman who claims she was misled about the potential health benefits of the ginger-flavored drink.
While Canada Dry’s bottles and cans say it’s “Made from Real Ginger,” the lawsuit cites lab testing that shows the drink doesn’t contain “‘real ginger’ as reasonable consumers understand that term.”See the rest of the story at Business Insider
