Where does the case stand?
The case remains at the complaint stage. There is no settlement fund and no court-approved claim process.
The OpenClassActions tracker reports no settlement, no certified class, and nothing to claim, while describing the dispute as a "Zero Sugar" and "0 Grams Sugar" front label allegedly contradicted by an ingredient list with about 10 grams of allulose syrup per 12-ounce can in the allulose lawsuit tracker. A complaint is only the plaintiff's opening allegation. Later steps can include dismissal, settlement talks, class certification, or trial.
Why does allulose matter to the claim?
The legal question is whether allulose counts as sugar under federal labeling rules. Plaintiffs say it does, so "zero sugar" becomes misleading when allulose supplies the sweetness. That theory follows the Seventh Circuit's July 27, 2026 Franco v.
Chobani decision, which held that allulose is a sugar and state-law deception claims may proceed, according to the Bradley law firm alert in the analysis of the new sugar-labeling suits. The ruling does not decide Humm's liability. It gives plaintiffs a legal path to argue that federal rules do not block their state consumer claim.
Who bought the drinks at issue?
The investigation focused on buyers of any flavor of Humm Probiotic Kombucha labeled "Zero Sugar." The key purchase reason was reliance on that claim within the past three years. The Laukaitis Law investigation page describes that purchaser group and separately states that the firm is no longer actively reviewing new Humm claims, as shown on the Humm investigation page.
Closed intake does not change the court case. It means that one law firm is not adding new clients for now.
What should buyers do while waiting?
Keep proof in case a settlement later creates a deadline. Save store receipts, credit-card statements, and photos of cans showing "Zero Sugar." The allegations remain unproven and Humm has not been found liable.
- Keep any can, label photo, or receipt with date and store
- Note flavor, price, and why the "Zero Sugar" claim mattered
- Watch the court docket or a settlement notice for a future claim period
