Sprite and Fanta Class Action Update

A new class action lawsuit alleges that Coca-Cola misled buyers by labeling Sprite and Fanta sodas as made with 100 percent natural flavors. The complaint was filed on May 27, 2025, in federal court in California. It targets multiple Sprite and Fanta varieties and argues that the drinks contain synthetic ingredients that are integral to the taste profile, which makes the natural claim deceptive.

Coca-Cola has asked the court to dismiss the case. The company argues the challenged ingredients are permitted and function as enhancers or preservatives, that the plaintiff cannot bring claims over products she did not purchase, and that federal rules preempt the state law claims. The court has not yet ruled on the motion.

Will this get settled?

It is too early to say. If the case survives the motion to dismiss it could move into discovery and class certification. Many labeling cases resolve by settlement, but there is no agreement at this time.

Will there be a claim form?

Not yet. Claim forms are created only after a settlement or a judgment that provides consumer relief. Since the case is in an early stage there is no claim form available.

When will there be a claim form?

There is no set timeline. The next milestone is the court's decision on Coca-Cola's dismissal request. If the lawsuit proceeds and later settles, a claim form could be posted by a court appointed administrator. That process can take many months or longer.

Who will qualify?

Eligibility would depend on the final class definition approved by the court. In similar food and beverage settlements, qualifying consumers typically include people in the United States who bought the specified products during a defined period. The exact terms are unknown until a settlement is approved.
