Lipton's health claims rejected by EU watchdog
The European Food Standards Authority has slammed Lipton for making unproven claims on its packaging. It judged that there was no sufficient proof of Lipton's assertion that black tea can improve alertness. The EFSA has examined the science behind the health claims made by 66 foods or ingredients and rejected most of them. Other companies hit by this investigation include Ocean Spray cranberry juice and Equazen, producer of omega-3 fish oil.
