Poppi Sodas ‘Are Basically Sugared Water’ Due to Low Prebiotic Fiber Content, Lawsuit Says

The manufacturers of Poppi soda are being sued over claims that its drinks do not contain enough prebiotic fiber to “cause meaningful gut health benefits for the consumer from just one can.”

VNGR Beverage LLC, the Texas-based corporation that manufactures, markets and sells Poppi sodas, is named in the class action lawsuit filed by San Francisco, California woman Kristin Cobbs. The complaint alleges Poppi sodas only contain two grams of prebiotic fiber, which means “a consumer would need to drink more than four Poppi sodas in a day to realize any potential health benefits.”

“However, even if a consumer were to do this, Poppi’s high sugar content would offset most, if not all, of these purported gut health benefits,” according to the suit filed in the Northern District of California.
