However, DL-Malic acid is much cheaper, the complaint noted, and the expense of using other “natural” ingredients is likely the reason 2 Towns used a synthetic product. In addition, 2 Towns had a non-synthetic option, the complaint alleged – a substance called L-Malic acid, as well as citric acid. The plaintiffs alleged that 2 Towns included this substance in its products to make them taste more like apples. “A combination of sugar and DL-Malic Acid in a ratio resembling a fruit flavor cannot be derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof.” “DL-Malic Acid is not derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof,” the complaint stated. Allegedly, this substance is a synthetic version of a substance found in fruit and used by food makers to adjust the acidity of the juices. However, certain 2 Towns products contain artificial DL-Malic acid, the lawsuit contended.
