Switch Sparkling Beverages
In October 2018, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Apple & Eve for allegedly misleadingly marketing Switch Sparkling beverages as being healthy, low-calorie drinks with “No Preservatives” and “No Sugar Added” when, according to the plaintiffs, the drinks contain the preservatives citric acid and ascorbic acid and are not low-calorie when compared to other beverages that are not marketed with “No Sugar Added” claims. (Reaves et al v. Apple & Eve, LLC, Case No. 18-cv-5728, E.D.N.Y.)
