Coca-Cola Recalls Its Popular Zero Sugar Drink Because It Contains Full Sugar
Check the label before you drink it, especially if you're watching your sugar intake for medical reasons.
Coca-Cola has voluntarily recalled 13,152 cases of Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade because it discovered during an internal investigation that cans labeled as Zero Sugar contain full sugar.
The recall was initiated on September 10 with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). It was classified as a Class II recall, which means "a situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote."
If you are watching your sugar intake for medical reasons, it may be dangerous for you to consume the recalled product. The FDA has not reported if there have been any illnesses or injuries related to the recall.
The recalled products are 12-ounce cans of Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade with the following codes found on the products: FEB1725CNA and FEB1725CNB. They were shipped to retail locations in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio.
According to a Coca-Cola representative, "In September, Coca-Cola Consolidated voluntarily recalled a limited quantity of Minute Maid Lemonade 12-ounce cans in parts of Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio. No impacted product remains in the market, and all recall activities in those markets are complete."
If you have purchased or have the recalled product, discard it or return it to the place of purchase for a refund.
