糖質カット炊飯器、2審も消費者庁処分取り消し 表示に誤認なし

A high-carbohydrate cutting rice cooker manufacturer has won its appeal, with the Tokyo High Court upholding a lower court's decision to nullify a corrective order issued by the Consumer Affairs Agency. The court found that the product's advertising did not mislead consumers regarding its sugar-reducing capabilities. The agency had previously claimed the "sugar cut" labeling was deceptive, but the court ruled that the display was not factually incorrect and did not create a misunderstanding.

This ruling impacts how health claims can be advertised for food-related appliances and sets a precedent for consumer protection regulations.
