Tropicana Products Inc. announced a truce in its orange juice war with Coca-Cola Co. A settlement between the companies resolves a court dispute over Tropicana’s challenge of Coke’s claim that its Minute Maid Premium Choice orange juice was “straight from the orange.” Tropicana filed a request for an injunction July 1 at federal court in New York, charging Minute Maid’s claim on its package was false and deceptive based on a 1982 U.S. Court of Appeals decision about advertising pasteurized orange juice. Coca-Cola has agreed to delete that claim from its package label.
