Coca-Cola Recalls Thousands of 'Zero Sugar' Drinks Found to Contain 100% Sugar

Coca-Cola has issued a voluntary recall for thousands of cases of Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade after discovering that some cans labeled as "zero sugar" actually contain full sugar, posing a potential health risk for consumers managing their sugar intake.

The recall was initiated on September 10, following an internal investigation by Coca-Cola that uncovered the labeling error. The recall, filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), was classified as a Class II recall, indicating that while serious health consequences are unlikely, consuming the mislabeled product could cause temporary or reversible health issues for some individuals.

The mislabeled 12-ounce cans of Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade with product codes FEB1725CNA and FEB1725CNB were distributed in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio.

According to a Coca-Cola representative, "No impacted product remains in the market, and all recall activities in those markets are complete." People who purchased or obtained the recalled product are encouraged to discard it or return the item for a refund.

The FDA has not reported any injuries or illnesses related to the recall.
