Are those bubbly beverages promising a happy gut truly delivering, or are they just clever marketing in a can? The rising popularity of prebiotic sodas has hit a sour note, with Poppi, a leading brand, agreeing to an $8.9 million settlement over allegations of false advertising regarding its gut health benefits.
The lawsuit, a consolidated class action awaiting court approval, challenges Poppis claims that its products provide significant gut health advantages. At the heart of the matter is the amount of prebiotic fiber in each can. Poppi boasts on its label that each serving contains at least 2 grams of prebiotic fiber, a key ingredient touted for digestive wellness. However, critics argue that this amount falls far short of whats needed to actually make a difference.
