Woman sues Jelly Belly, claiming she didn’t know the beans contain sugar – SFGate

The plaintiff, Jessica Gomez of San Bernardino County, first filed the case against the Fairfield-based company in February, according to Legal NewsLine, alleging Jelly Belly encouraged her to buy its Sports Beans by falsely advertising them as an energy source for athletes. Gomez claims the company tricked her into thinking the tiny beans contain juice rather than sugar, by listing”evaporated cane juice” as an ingredient. “No reasonable consumer could have been deceived by Sports Bean’s labeling Gomez could not have seen ‘evaporated cane juice’ without also seeing the product’s sugar content on its Nutrition Facts panel,” the motion reads.
