\"Dannon<\/a>The yogurt-maker Dannon agreed to drop various health claims made about its products, in addition to paying out $21 million in state and federal settlements. The Federal Trade Commission says that there is not enough scientific proof for Dannon’s claims that Activia yogurt<\/a> can correct digestive irregularity or that DanActive can boost immunity<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Consumers want, and are entitled to accurate information when it comes to their health,” FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz said in a statement. “Companies like Dannon shouldn’t exaggerate the strength of scientific support for their products.”<\/p>\n

Dannon says in the future it will be more clear about their research regarding Activia, which has only been shown to make a difference in digestive regularity when eaten three times a day. The FTC says that the current marketing campaign implies that the same effects can be attained from consuming only one serving of the yogurt<\/a> per day.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Dannon settled a similar class-action lawsuit with consumers, who also called out the company for misleading advertising.<\/p>\n
