Arsenic found in white and rose wines:
Popular California Wines Contain Poisonous Arsenic, Class-Action Suit Alleges
Suit alleges winemakers knowingly sell arsenic-contaminated wines such as Menage a Trois, Sutter Home, Wine Cube, Charles Shaw, and Beringer
Many popular, inexpensive brands of wine made and distributed in California contain illegal and dangerously high levels of poisonous inorganic arsenic, according to a lawsuit filed today in Los Angeles.
Plaintiffs Doris Charles, Alvin Jones, Jason Peltier and Jennifer Peltier allege in their proposed class-action Los Angeles Superior Court complaint that dozens of wineries are violating state law by knowingly producing, marketing and selling arsenic contaminated wine and failing to warn consumers about the potential danger. The suit seeks unspecified damages and a court order directing the wineries to correct the alleged poor practices.
CBS reported that Trader Joe’s responded to the allegations.
“The concerns raised in your inquiry are serious and are being treated as such. We are investigating the matter with several of our wine producers,” said a spokesperson.
”Treasury Wine Estates told CBS their brands of wine are “fully compliant with all relevant federal and state guidelines.”
Some of the popular wines
named in the lawsuit are primarily inexpensive white or blush varietals
including Moscato, Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc.

“These
wineries have long known about the serious health risks their products pose to
customers,” plaintiffs’ attorney Brian Kabateck said. “Yet instead of reducing
the exposure to acceptable levels, the defendants recklessly engage in a
pattern and practice of selling arsenic-tainted wine to California consumers.”

The
28 California wineries accused in the lawsuit “produce and market wines that
contain dangerously high levels of inorganic arsenic, in some cases up to 500
percent or more than what is considered the maximum acceptable safe daily
intake limit,” the lawsuit alleges.
