MillerCoors is suing Anheuser-Busch over ads such as the one above that associated its brands with corn syrup. MillerCoors is suing Anheuser-Busch over ads such as the one above that associated its brands with corn syrup. The dispute began when AB InBev ran several ads during the Super Bowl pointing out that Miller Lite and Coors Light use corn syrup in their brewing processes. It continued after the game, including on billboards describing Bud Light as having “100 percent less corn syrup” than either competing brand. MillerCoors argues in its complaint that the ads “deceive beer consumers into believing that there is corn syrup and high-fructose corn syrup in Miller Lite and Coors Light.” There is no corn syrup in either beer by the time it reaches consumers, the company says, and high-fructose corn syrup is never involved at any point.
