Questão jurídica principal
Whether the label “without added sugar” on orange juice violates the food-law prohibition on misleading packaging.
Decisão extraída
The wording is not misleading in context and remains permissible.
Fundamentação extraída
Although fruit juice generally may not contain added sugar and the wording can be seen as a true statement, consumers have a legitimate informational interest in knowing that the product contains no added sugar. The average consumer does not readily infer this from the product designation and mandatory composition declaration. Any risk of misunderstanding about comparable products is of lesser weight.
