Starbucks is sued for allegedly misleadingly marketing eight protein drinks as "Sugar-Free" despite containing 13 to 21 grams of naturally occurring sugar from milk. The lawsuit claims the product names violate federal regulations since the drinks exceed the FDA's sugar-free threshold of less than 0.5 grams of sugar per serving. Starbucks disputes the claims, stating it clearly provides nutritional information and intends to defend itself. The case highlights issues around labeling transparency and could impact how Starbucks markets these beverages in the future.
