Disputes over sugar, juice content, and “all-natural” claims
Consumer advocates and litigants have challenged the nutritional profile of some Capri-Sun drinks, including their sugar content and relatively low juice percentage, and have disputed whether “all-natural” descriptions are appropriate. The controversy has included two United States lawsuits and the removal of the main line from Tesco shelves in the United Kingdom.
Criticism of child-directed marketing
Researchers and advocacy groups have criticized Capri-Sun’s long-standing promotion to children, arguing that colorful packaging, youth media, school-related contexts, and digital activities can make sugary drinks appear healthier or more desirable than they are.
