In the case Bellion Spirits, LLC, et al v. United States of America, et al., a Federal Judge in Washington, DC, denied Bellion’s Motion for Summary Judgment and granted the Government’s Cross-Motion in a deceptive labeling matter. Bellion infuses their vodka with a compound called NTX. They claim “NTX helps protect DNA from alcohol-induced damage” and “NTX reduces alcohol-induced DNA damage.” Allegedly, these claims cannot be substantiated, and therefore, are not allowed to be put on the vodka bottles’ labels.
