Thousands Of Cases Of Mislabeled Minute Maid 'Zero Sugar' Lemonade Recalled

Coca-Cola has issued a recall for thousands of cases of Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade after it was discovered that the product was mislabeled and actually contained the regular formula of lemonade with 40 grams of sugar. The recall, which was issued in September, applied to approximately 13,152 cases, each containing 12 cans of the lemonade. The affected product was shipped to retail stores in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classified the recall as Class II, which involves a health hazard situation where there is a remote probability of adverse health consequences from use of the product. The mislabeled product can be identified by the codes "FEB1725CNA" and "FEB1725CNB" printed on the carton and the bottom of the cans.

In a statement reported by multiple outlets, a spokesperson for Coca-Cola said, "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." Customers who have purchased the product are advised to discard it or return it to their place of purchase for a refund.
