After Losing a Court Ruling, The Sugar Industry Keeps Spreading Misinformation

2013-10-18 10:43:55| Sugar Industry News

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17, 2013 -- /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A federal court in California recently ruled that a lawsuit seeking to hold The Sugar Association responsible for perpetuating myths and confusion about high fructose corn syrup will proceed. The suit, a counterclaim filed by member companies of the Corn Refiners Association, who were originally sued by The Sugar Association and its members in 2011, alleges that the sugar industry's trade group engaged in a campaign to denigrate HFCS and confuse consumers by spreading misinformation that is not backed by credible science. On September 16, a federal judge ruled that the counterclaim and a related "unclean hands" defense would go forward, denying sugar industry's motions to strike and dismiss.
