Naked Truth: Naked Juice Not So Natural
No
wonder PepsiCo, owner of the Naked Juice brand, spent $2.5 million to
defeat California’s GMO labeling law last year. Turns out the Junk Food
Giant isn’t too fond of honest labeling, even when it comes to its
so-called “all-natural” Naked Juice.
In
a big win for consumers, PepsiCo has been ordered to pay $9 million to
settle a class-action lawsuit. Why? Because the courts agreed that
adding synthetic fiber material made by Agri-Giant Archer Daniels
Midland to Naked Juice products equates to deliberately deceiving
consumers.
And
that’s not all. The lawsuit accused Pepsi of adding a host of other
questionable ingredients, including zinc oxide, ascorbic acid and
calcium pantothenate, made from formaldehyde, a carcinogenic compound.
Pepsi denied the claim that Naked Juice contains GMOs. But
the undeniable truth? Pepsi doesn’t want you to know what’s in Naked
Juice, or any of its other products. And as a member of the Grocery
Manufacturers Association (GMA), which is so far the top donor to
campaign to defeat I-522, a GMO labeling initiative in Washington State,
Pepsi is still working to keep you in the dark.

ReplyDeleteher( above) link is totally on point, no b.s. the scariest thing in naked juice is that it isnt organic, any other ingredients except fibersol are pretty natural.
