Slimming Down Business in Connecticut

posted by Harriet McConnell @ 9:26 am

The state of Connecticut seems to have a problem with health drinks. Last year their AG went after one which claimed to help prevent colds, and this year they are launching an investigation into Coca Cola and Nestle’s new green tea drink Enviga—which claims to cut calories. The drink makers have to produce all the scientific studies and papers within a week or else.

Our nation has a two step process for drink labeling. First a company needs to comply with the FDA’s strict labeling restrictions, then it gets to face the Attorney General of Connecticut.
