NESTLE JUICY JUICE
Did you buy Nestle Juicy Juice believing it was 100% “Orange Tangerine” juice or 100% “Grape” juice? If so, you were misled.
On December 4, 2009, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning letter to Nestle about its “Nestle Juicy Juice All Natural 100% Juice Orange Tangerine” and “Nestle Juicy Juice All Natural 100% Juice Grape” products. The FDA found that the label design for those Nestle Juicy Juice products “may lead consumers to believe that the products are 100% orange/tangerine juice or 100% grape juice when, in fact, they are not.” The FDA concluded these Nestle Juicy Juice products are “misbranded” in violation of FDA regulations because they are misleading.

DIAMOND WALNUTS
Did you buy Diamond Walnuts believing the statements on the package meant the Omega-3 fatty acid content of walnuts is related to a reduction in coronary heart disease? If so, you were misled.
On February 22, 2010, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning letter to Diamond Foods, Inc. about its “Diamond of California Shelled Walnuts.” The FDA found the packaging for that product makes an “unauthorized health claim” in violation of the FDA regulations. Specifically, the FDA found that the Diamond Walnuts packaging labels representation about the “Omega-3 fatty acid” content in walnuts makes it seem as if it was related to a reduction in coronary heart disease (CHD). The FDA concluded “[t]here is not sufficient evidence to identify a biologically active substance in walnuts that reduces the risks of CHD.” The FDA also found some other Omega-3 fatty acid claims on Diamond Walnut’s website made it illegal to market the product.

SUNSWEET ANTIOXIDANT BLEND DRIED FRUIT MIXES
Did you buy Sunsweet Antioxidant Blend Dried Fruit Mixes believing it was “full of nutritious antioxidants” or had “high antioxidants?” That claim was unauthorized.
On February 22, 2010, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning letter to Sunsweet about its “Sunsweet Antioxidant Blend” dried fruit mixes. The FDA found that Sunsweet Antioxidant dried fruit mixes made an “unauthorized health claim” in violation of the FDA regulations because Sunsweet failed to identify the nutrients in the product that “have recognized antioxidant activity” in amounts “sufficient to qualify for the claim.” [See the FDA Letter - Click Here]
