LaCroix faces lawsuit for allegedly including cockroach insecticide in its sparkling water

say it isn’t so!!!!
“A lawsuit filed against LaCroix's parent company alleges the sparkling water advertised as "all natural" includes an ingredient used in cockroach insecticide as well as other artificial ingredients.
Law firm Beaumont Costales filed the suit on behalf of customer Lenora Rice, CBS Philadelphia reports, and claims testing revealed the synthetic ingredients. LaCroix denies the allegations.
"LaCroix in fact contains ingredients that have been identified by the Food and Drug Administration as synthetic,” the lawsuit obtained by CBS states. "These chemicals include limonene, which can cause kidney toxicity and tumors; linalool propionate, which is used to treat cancer; and linalool, which is used in cockroach insecticide."
The lawsuit also states LaCroix makers are aware of the alleged unnatural ingredients.
National Beverage Corp. denies the allegations, saying all essences in LaCroix sparkling waters are all 100 percent natural.
"The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers “natural” on a food label to be truthful and non-misleading when 'nothing artificial or synthetic (including all color additives regardless of source) has been included in, or has been added,'” the company said in a statement earlier this week. ”
Roach sauce

My wife put a huting on the grocery budget with them too before I figured out I could just make my own at home with my homebrewing kegs and cheap limes from the Mexican gocery store. I went from $0.036/oz to $0.002/oz. Plus my homemade is free of alleged insecticides.

Cherry lime is where it’s at

I have considered doing this so many times. I think you just convinced me.

Is that why it taste like piss?

Do your lines stay pretty clean? You changing salts?

I don't understand how people drink that shite. It tastes like chap stick. Literally ANY other sparkling water is better.

I tasted one of those disgusting La Croix’s once.
Once.
No thanks. If Diet Coke is gonna kill me, so be it. But life is too short to drink that La Croix crap.

Yeah it tastes gross

I wonder if the food babe and her army of morons are behind this.
Linalool is a compound found in hops. Hops are in beer. So I guess this equates to insecticide is in our beer.
