PepsiCo is facing a lawsuit over its Gatorade protein bars following a ruling by U.S. District Judge Casey Pitts in San Jose, California. The judge determined that the company can be sued for allegedly deceptive marketing practices, as the bars contain more sugar than protein and more sugar than typical candy bars. The lawsuit, led by three self-described fitness enthusiasts, claims the bars are 'fortified junk food' with 29 grams of sugar, exceeding the American Heart Association's recommended daily limit of 25 grams. The case highlights concerns over misleading health claims in food marketing.
