Better, she says, just to ban the word.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others have attacked the problem through the \u003ca href=\"http://www.foodnavigator-usa.com/Regulation/PopChips-agrees-2.4m-all-natural-lawsuit-settlement-settlements-also-likely-in-Kashi-and-Bear-Naked-cases\">courts\u003c/a>. More than 200 lawsuits have been filed against the use of \"natural,\" arguing that it can't apply to food containing GMOs or hydrogenated oils. In some cases, companies responded by erasing the offending word from the label.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rangan's quest to ban the word entirely, however, faces tough legal hurdles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'd be very surprised if the FDA has any interest in acting on this,\" says David Ter Molen, an attorney with Freeborn & Peters in Chicago who's also editor of a \"\u003ca href=\"http://foodidentityblog.com/about/\">Food Identity Blog\u003c/a>.\" \"This is not a health or safety issue for them\" and not high on the agency's list of priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, for now, whether something is natural remains a matter of opinion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cem>Copyright 2014 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The Coca-Cola product is almost five times cheaper. Only if you read down to the small print on the label do you see why: While POM's juice is 85 percent pomegranate and 15 percent blueberry juice, the Coca-Cola product is just 0.5 percent pomegranate and blueberry juice — combined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>POM sued Coca-Cola, claiming that it was losing sales because Coca-Cola's label and advertising were misleading consumers into believing they were getting a juice combination consisting mainly of pomegranate and blueberry juices when, in fact, the juice was more than 99 percent apple and grape juices, which are far cheaper. POM asked for damages and a court order barring such labeling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two lower courts ruled against POM, agreeing with Coca-Cola that because its label complies with the requirements of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, it is immune to suits under another law, called the Lanham Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_83306\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 315px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/minute-maid_vert-9a98ddce1b9f0a7d77eb663de3e35e4f4fc63799.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/minute-maid_vert-9a98ddce1b9f0a7d77eb663de3e35e4f4fc63799.jpg\" alt=\"POM sued Coca-Cola, claiming that it was losing sales because the label and advertising for its Minute Maid pomegranate-blueberry drink were misleading consumers into believing they were getting a juice combination consisting mainly of pomegranate and blueberry juices when, in fact, the juice was more than 99 percent apple and grape juices, which are far cheaper.

Photo: Courtesy of the Coca-Cola Co.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, however, the Supreme Court disagreed with Coca-Cola, giving the green light for POM's lawsuit to go forward. Summarizing the decision from the bench, Justice Anthony Kennedy said that \"the position Coca-Cola takes in this court\" is that because it complied with the Food and Drug Act's labeling requirements, it could \"mislead and trick consumers\" without being subject to liability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That assertion, he said, is \"incorrect.\" The Lanham Act and the Food and Drug Act are supposed to work together: The former allows competitors to bring civil lawsuits to protect their commercial interests from unfair competition, while the latter protects public health and safety. To the extent that they both cover labels, Justice Kennedy said, FDA regulations are not a ceiling that insulates companies from being sued by competitors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rather, the Lanham Act is the yin to the FDA's yang, because it should \"provide incentives for manufacturers to behave well.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>POM Wonderful co-owner Lynda Resnick gave the credit for the victory to her husband, Stewart, who, she noted, has insisted on pursuing this case for more than five years, all the way to the Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He is kind of a 21st century John Wayne,\" said Resnick, and \"very much wants what's right for the food industry and for the American consumer.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just how broad the repercussions will be for the food and beverage industry is unclear. After all, Thursday's Supreme Court decision allows competitors, but not consumers, to bring suits like the one at issue in the Supreme Court ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't know whether it will change the landscape of labeling,\" said associate professor Diana R.H. Winters, of Indiana University law school. \"I think food companies will have to look more closely at their labeling now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The POM Wonderful suit will now proceed to trial, if it is not settled. It will be a jury that decides whether Coca-Cola did anything wrong and, if so, how much the company should pay POM in damages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>POM Wonderful is on the defensive in another suit that's slowly wending its way to the Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Federal Trade Commission \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2010/09/27/130156237/pomegranate-juice-may-not-be-so-wonderful-says-ftc\">accused \u003c/a>the company of its own deceptive advertising. The FTC ordered POM to stop advertising health benefits for its juice until it can prove those benefits with clinical trials involving human subjects.

The Coca-Cola product is almost five times cheaper. Only if you read down to the small print on the label do you see why: While POM's juice is 85 percent pomegranate and 15 percent blueberry juice, the Coca-Cola product is just 0.5 percent pomegranate and blueberry juice — combined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>POM sued Coca-Cola, claiming that it was losing sales because Coca-Cola's label and advertising were misleading consumers into believing they were getting a juice combination consisting mainly of pomegranate and blueberry juices when, in fact, the juice was more than 99 percent apple and grape juices, which are far cheaper. POM asked for damages and a court order barring such labeling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two lower courts ruled against POM, agreeing with Coca-Cola that because its label complies with the requirements of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, it is immune to suits under another law, called the Lanham Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_83306\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 315px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/minute-maid_vert-9a98ddce1b9f0a7d77eb663de3e35e4f4fc63799.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/minute-maid_vert-9a98ddce1b9f0a7d77eb663de3e35e4f4fc63799.jpg\" alt=\"POM sued Coca-Cola, claiming that it was losing sales because the label and advertising for its Minute Maid pomegranate-blueberry drink were misleading consumers into believing they were getting a juice combination consisting mainly of pomegranate and blueberry juices when, in fact, the juice was more than 99 percent apple and grape juices, which are far cheaper.

Photo: Courtesy of the Coca-Cola Co.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, however, the Supreme Court disagreed with Coca-Cola, giving the green light for POM's lawsuit to go forward. Summarizing the decision from the bench, Justice Anthony Kennedy said that \"the position Coca-Cola takes in this court\" is that because it complied with the Food and Drug Act's labeling requirements, it could \"mislead and trick consumers\" without being subject to liability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That assertion, he said, is \"incorrect.\" The Lanham Act and the Food and Drug Act are supposed to work together: The former allows competitors to bring civil lawsuits to protect their commercial interests from unfair competition, while the latter protects public health and safety. To the extent that they both cover labels, Justice Kennedy said, FDA regulations are not a ceiling that insulates companies from being sued by competitors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rather, the Lanham Act is the yin to the FDA's yang, because it should \"provide incentives for manufacturers to behave well.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>POM Wonderful co-owner Lynda Resnick gave the credit for the victory to her husband, Stewart, who, she noted, has insisted on pursuing this case for more than five years, all the way to the Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He is kind of a 21st century John Wayne,\" said Resnick, and \"very much wants what's right for the food industry and for the American consumer.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just how broad the repercussions will be for the food and beverage industry is unclear. After all, Thursday's Supreme Court decision allows competitors, but not consumers, to bring suits like the one at issue in the Supreme Court ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't know whether it will change the landscape of labeling,\" said associate professor Diana R.H. Winters, of Indiana University law school. \"I think food companies will have to look more closely at their labeling now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The POM Wonderful suit will now proceed to trial, if it is not settled. It will be a jury that decides whether Coca-Cola did anything wrong and, if so, how much the company should pay POM in damages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>POM Wonderful is on the defensive in another suit that's slowly wending its way to the Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Federal Trade Commission \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2010/09/27/130156237/pomegranate-juice-may-not-be-so-wonderful-says-ftc\">accused \u003c/a>the company of its own deceptive advertising. The FTC ordered POM to stop advertising health benefits for its juice until it can prove those benefits with clinical trials involving human subjects. POM challenged the FTC order, lost in federal District Court and is appealing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2014 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The group says they're not looking to roll back nutrition standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This will not halt the progress in school cafeterias; it is a temporary reprieve to allow schools to catch up,\" SNA President Leah Schmidt said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The SNA says the waiver is aimed at helping school cafeterias that are operating at a net loss. Since the standards were put in place in 2012, more than a million fewer students choose school lunch each day. And this lower participation rate may play a role in putting some school cafeterias in the red, the group says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The USDA, which administers the school food programs, says it's working hard to accommodate schools that are struggling to implement the changes. For instance, there's grant money available as well as technical assistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in a call Thursday with reporters, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack expressed strong opposition to the waiver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What is ill-advised is a waiver process that would open up the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act to a reversal,\" Vilsack says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[A waiver] would be an implementation nightmare — to audit the books of school districts\" to determine if they're struggling financially, he says. \"It's not workable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vilsack says 90 percent of schools are already in compliance with the HHFKA, and he says it's a myth that the school food system as a whole is losing money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"School districts are seeing an increase of $200 million dollars,\" Vilsack says, compared to what they were receiving before the enactment of the new standards. And he points to the extra six cents per meal that schools get in reimbursement from the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The waiver has several more legislative hurdles before it could pass. The House of Representatives will consider the bill in the coming weeks. And, ultimately, the waiver proposal would need to make it through the House-Senate appropriations conference. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2014 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
