Jelly bean rule<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
Coca-Cola\u2019s use of health claims (and the word \u2018healthy\u2019) violates FDA regulations on vitamin-fortified foods (the so-called \u2018jelly bean rule\u2019 rule that prohibits companies from making health claims on foods that only meet various nutrient thresholds via fortification).<\/span><\/div>\n
The plaintiffs in the class action law suit, who are also represented by Reese Richman LLP and Whatley Drake & Kallas, LLC, argue that “<\/span>VitaminWater is Coke’s attempt to dress up soda in a physician’s white coat\u201d.<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

Think about cereals, and how many sugar-glut cereals are “an important part of a balanced breakfast” because someone ground up a multivitamin in it. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Here is a general rule: if a product has to ADD vitamins for it to be healthy … it was never healthy in the first place!! It’s like those things that are called “food product”. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
A) if it has to TELL you it’s a food, it’s probably not. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
B) “food product” is not food anyway. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
