Trendy Poppi prebiotic soda not as 'gut healthy' as it claims, lawsuit alleges
A lawsuit filed against the wildly popular "Shark Tank" phenomenon Poppi prebiotic soda alleges that the drink was not as "gut healthy" as it’s advertised to be.
Plaintiff Kristin Cobbs of San Francisco filed the class action lawsuit Wednesday on behalf of herself and "similarly situated" consumers of Poppi against the parent company, VNGR Beverage LLC, which is based in Austin, Texas.
Poppi has quickly climbed the ranks in the beverage world — capitalizing on relevant marketing and scoring shelf-space at popular retailers like Whole Foods, Target and Costco.
Poppi's "gut healthy" promises are false since the soda "only contains two grams of prebiotic fiber, an amount too low to cause meaningful gut health benefits," the plaintiffs claimed.
