Lawsuits have been made against the juice brand "Naked", owned by PepsiCo The company, who advertises as all natural, has been hiding GMO's (genetically modified organisms) in their products. Their labels state the juice to be non-GMO but they contain synthetic and genetically modified ingredients. The lawsuit states that the synthetic ingredients question include:
Fibersol-2 which is a proprietary synthetic digestion-resistant fiber produced by Archer Daniels Midland and developed by a Japanese chemical company.
Fructooligosaccharides which is a synthetic fiber and sweetener.
Inulin which is an artificial and invisible fiber added to foods to artificially increase fiber content with the typical fiber mouth-feel.
Genetically Modified is defined as creating something that would not occur naturally in the organism, says the World Health Organization.
Lawsuits have also been made against Wesson vegetable oil for advertising as all natural but secretly containing genetically modified ingredients.
Several, so called, healthy cereals have also been found to have genetically modified ingredients. Testing found that as much as 100% of the samples were GM ingredients.
Kashi was sued for using ingredients such as prescription drugs, irradiated substances, pesticides that are a by-product of uranium mining, and federally declared hazardous substances in products that it claimed were “All-Natural” and contained “Nothing Artificial”.
To avoid eating products with hidden synthetic or GMO ingredients, always buy certified organic foods. Packaging that says natural just isn't enough. Unfortunately, we live in a world with greedy people who will do anything to get rich.
