Poppi
Poppi Gut Health Settlement
The $8.9 million Poppi settlement resolves allegations that its gut health marketing misled buyers. It covered U.S. purchases for household use from January 23, 2020 through July 18, 2025, but the September 26, 2025 claim deadline has passed. Payments for approved claims vary based on purchases and the funds available.
Key facts
If you bought Poppi soda, this settlement covered U.S. purchases for household use from January 23, 2020 through July 18, 2025. The deadline to submit a claim was September 26, 2025, so new claims are no longer being accepted.
VNGR Beverage LLC, doing business as Poppi, agreed to an $8.9 million settlement resolving allegations that its gut health marketing misled consumers into buying the drinks or paying more for them. The company denied the allegations. The settlement does not establish that the company did anything wrong.
The court held the final approval hearing on November 20, 2025, granted final approval on April 14, 2026, and entered judgment on June 15, 2026. The settlement administrator is Verita Global LLC.
The payment formula uses $0.75 per single can, $3 per four-pack, $6 per eight-pack, and $9 per 12-pack or 15-pack. These amounts can be adjusted up or down based on approved claims and the money remaining after court-approved costs. The stated $5 household minimum is subject to available funds, so it is not a guaranteed payment.
Claims without purchase documentation were subject to a $16 household cap before adjustments. The agreement permits an increase up to $80 for those claims if funds allow. Neither figure is a promised payment, and $16 is not the overall maximum for claims supported by purchase records. Claims from the same household are combined.
As of October 20, 2026, the reviewed official settlement pages and court documents do not confirm a specific payment date or that distribution is complete. Final approval alone does not establish that an individual claim has been approved or paid.
Who may qualify
The settlement covered people in the United States who purchased any flavor or package size of Poppi in the United States for household use, not resale or distribution, from January 23, 2020 through July 18, 2025. Certain judges and their immediate families, government entities, Poppi, and timely opt-outs were excluded. A timely valid claim was required for payment. The September 26, 2025 deadline has passed.
What proof do you need?
Did this settlement need proof of purchase?
For this settlement, you needed proof for some claims but not others. Purchase records were optional for a capped claim. A receipt or other third-party commercial record establishing the purchase and date was required to support purchases above the no-proof limit. Claims without documentation were capped at $16 per household before adjustments, with a possible increase up to $80 if funds allow. Payments may also be reduced. The claim deadline has passed. The claim window for this settlement has closed.
Where do these requirements come from?
From the official settlement notice - the document that sets out who qualifies and what they have to provide. Claim summarizes it; Claim does not set it. Where the notice and this page disagree, the notice is the one that counts.
How can I check a settlement email or text?
Who is the administrator?
Verita Global LLC is the settlement administrator: the company a court appoints to run the claims process, send notices and make payments. It is not the company being sued, and it is not Claim.
Is the sender's name enough to trust the message?
No. A sender name, a display name, a reply-to address and even a case number can all be copied. Check the case name and number in the message against the ones on this page, and reach the court-authorized settlement website yourself rather than through a link or button in the message.
What warning signs should I look for?
Any request for a fee, a payment or a wire to release settlement money. Any request for full banking login details. Pressure to act straight away. A web address that does not match the one in the official notice. Genuine notices identify the case by name and number and explain how payment is made.
