U.S. top court questions Coca-Cola over fruit juice label

A bottle of Coca-Cola is shown in this photo illustration in Encinitas, California U.S. Supreme Court justices sharply questioned a lawyer for Coca-Cola on Monday, asking why a juice label touting pomegranate and blueberry should not be considered misleading if the drink contained only a tiny amount of the fruits. Officially, the case was about whether a competitor - in this case POM Wonderful - could challenge as misleading the label on a juice bottle sold by Coke's Minute Maid brand if the Food and Drug Administration had not objected to it. The Minute Maid juice is sold as a "Pomegranate Blueberry Flavored Blend of 5 Juices" but is primarily apple and grape juice with 0.3 percent pomegranate juice and 0.2 percent blueberry juice, according to a POM court filing.
