"Non"-Alcoholic Kombucha Beverages?
Millenium Products and Honest Tea claimed that their Kombucha drinks were less than 0.5% alcohol. They told merchants to market them alongside juices, ice teas, and other non-alcoholic drinks. They said they could be consumed by children, people at work, athletes, and many others who cannot drink alcohol. In fact, the beverages were alcoholic.
In 2011, a settlement was reached. If you purchased a Millenium kombucha product, you can learn more about the settlement at the settlement website. If you purchased an Honest Tea kombucha product, the settlement website is here.
