Poppi lawsuit alleges soda’s health claims are false

(CNN)– A San Francisco woman is suing prebiotic soda brand ‘Poppi’, saying the drink’s marketing claims mislead consumers about its health benefits.

The lawsuit alleges the amount of prebiotic fiber in a single can of ‘Poppi’ isn’t enough to produce meaningful gut health benefits.

The suits claims a person would have to drink four or more cans of the beverage to get any prebiotic fiber health benefits but says those benefits would then be offset by the drink’s high sugar content.

In a statement, the Austin-Texas based company said it stands behind its products and calls the lawsuit baseless.
