Completely agree - and she’s not alone. The suit says that there is a potential class action for this.

Thank you for the info on the Sport Beans label. Not sure if that’s been changed recently either.

After reading the entire article, I'm going to say that the labels have changed since she started using them. There's no "evaporated cane juice" listed on the current labels, and the story mentions that in 2016, the FDA issued guidelines (not a law or a rule) that juice shouldn't be used unless it's from a fruit or vegetable, and that the use of the phrase "evaporated cane juice" in this case can be misleading.

However, the Jelly Belly company stated that "Total Sugars" was listed on the labels then, as now, and shows that the product is pretty much 100% carbs (25 grams, with an additional 80 milligrams of sodium), with no protein and no fat, and of the 25 grams of carbs, 19 grams (fully 76%) are from sugars.

If I'm on the jury, plaintiff and her attorney get bupkiss and Jelly Belly gets all fees associated plus damages for having to defend against this idiot.
