Lawsuit Alleges Chobani Misled Consumers with ‘Zero Sugar’ Claim on Labels
The case now moves to discovery as plaintiffs say 4 grams of allulose per serving can mislead shoppers under federal sugar-free rules.
- A federal appellate judge revived a 2025 lawsuit against Chobani, finding the yogurt brand may have misled consumers with its "Zero sugar." label following the FDA's reclassification of allulose as sugar.
- Chobani's Greek yogurt contains 4 grams of allulose per serving, exceeding the 0.5-gram federal limit required to earn the "sugar-free" title, according to Food Dive.
- Plaintiffs Jason and Abigail Franco must prove reasonable consumers were misled during the discovery phase, though how consumers perceive Chobani's labels remains a question of fact.
- A spokesperson for Chobani said the company "respectfully disagree" with the decision, while noting allulose doesn't add calories or raise blood sugar like traditional sugars.
- The FDA has yet to issue official rules on allulose labeling, providing only enforcement guidance from 2020, leaving the legality of "Zero sugar." claims contested in court.
