00:00Starbucks is facing a federal lawsuit accusing the company of misleading customers
00:04by labeling eight protein beverages as sugar-free.
00:08The complaint points to drinks that can contain as much as 21 grams of sugar in a single serving,
00:14largely from naturally occurring lactose in milk.
00:17That's nearly twice the sugar found in a Reese's peanut butter cup, according to the Associated Press.
00:23Starbucks says it clearly provides nutritional information and plans to defend itself against the claims.
