Celestial Seasonings “Honey Vanilla” Chamomile Tea New York Complaint

September 26, 2020

Consumers these days prefer natural flavors. But that’s not all: They want the flavors to come from the “characterizing ingredient” advertised. That is, if a drink is said to be honey- or vanilla-flavored, they expect the flavor to come from real honey or real vanilla, and not from some other ingredient, natural or otherwise, that can imitate a honey or vanilla flavor. The complaint for this class action alleges that Celestial Seasonings, Inc. makes a Honey Vanilla Chamomile Tea product that does not contain sufficient honey or vanilla to justify its labeling.
