The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that a proposed class-action lawsuit over the sugar content of Chobani yogurt may proceed. The company advertised some of its yogurt as sugar-free, but the suit alleges that Chobani Zero Sugar yogurt actually contained four grams of allulose, a naturally occurring sweetener that the litigants contend is a sugar. Chobani argues that FDA regulation listed just glucose, fructose, lactose and sucrose as sugars, while the more expansive definition might include all monosaccharides.
