The 29-page lawsuit contends that Olly Public Benefit Corp. has misled consumers by overemphasizing the purported health benefits of the gummies in an effort to capitalize on growing demand for apple cider vinegar (ACV) supplements, which are supposedly beneficial for managing blood sugar, promoting weight loss and aiding digestive health.

Though Olly labels its ACV gummies with claims related to metabolism and lean body mass, cellular energy and digestive health benefits, the complaint alleges that the supplement does not contain sufficient amounts of the active ingredients responsible for those benefits, and is instead composed primarily of sugar.

Importantly, the case relays that apple cider vinegar itself is made through a multi-stage fermentation process that yields the key components acetic acid, the compound associated with the health benefits of ACV, and the “mother,” a living, unpasteurized substance. According to the complaint, independent testing commissioned by the plaintiff’s counsel found that Olly’s Metabolism Gummy Rings contain a minuscule amount of acetic acid and are manufactured using heating, cooling and dehydration processes that ultimately denature any of the beneficial enzymes and bacteria found in the “mother.”

Per the lawsuit, the testing showed that each Olly gummy contains 7.80 milligrams of acetic acid, which amounts to less than three percent of its total contents. The suit says that about half of each Olly Metabolism Gummy Ring is added sugar by weight.

Amid the rapid growth of the nearly $725 million apple cider vinegar market, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued guidance for the labeling and marketing of vinegar products. The lawsuit cites an FDA Compliance Policy Guideline stating that vinegar products diluted below four grams of acetic acid per 100 milliliters must be labeled as such.

“Accordingly, in order to be labeled as an apple cider vinegar product, a product must contain at least 4% acetic acid,” the filing states. “Representing that a product contains apple cider vinegar where it is comprised of less than 4% acetic acid is false, misleading and deceptive in violation of the law.”

Even though the gummies’ acetic acid content is below the four-percent threshold, the lawsuit asserts that Olly continues to misleadingly market the gummies as an apple cider vinegar supplement that “supports metabolism and lean body mass.”

The Olly class action lawsuit seeks to represent all California citizens who purchased its Metabolism Gummy Rings in California within the four years prior to the filing of the complaint on March 31, 2026, and do not claim any personal injury from using the product.
