Letter to FDA Requesting Enforcement Action on Unauthorized Low Sugar Claims

This letter was sent by CSPI to the Food and Drug Administration's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, and details product claims such as "lightly sweetened" and "less sweet." These claims are in violation of FDA rules and mislead consumers by falsely implying certain sugary beverages are more healthful than they are.
