‘All-natural’ Simply Tropical juice has high toxic PFAS levels, lawsuit alleges

Coca-Cola claimed juice was healthy despite toxic forever chemicals' levels hundreds of times' above federal limits, suit says

A new class-action lawsuit in the US alleges Coca-Cola and Simply Tropical fruit juice deceived customers with claims of an all-natural, healthy product when the juice has been found to be contaminated with toxic PFAS at levels hundreds of times" above federal advisory limits for drinking water.

PFAS are a class of about 12,000 chemicals typically used to make thousands of consumer products resist water, stains and heat. They are called forever chemicals" because they do not naturally break down, and they are linked to cancer, fetal complications, liver disease, kidney disease, autoimmune disorders and other serious health issues.
