Coca-Cola has voluntarily recalled 13,152 cases of Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade after an internal investigation revealed that some cans labeled as “Zero Sugar” actually contain full sugar. This discrepancy, discovered during a quality control check, prompted the company to initiate the recall on September 10, in coordination with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA classified this as a Class II recall, which refers to situations where the use of a product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, though the likelihood of serious harm is remote.

The recall specifically affects 12-ounce cans of Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade with the codes FEB1725CNA and FEB1725CNB. These products were distributed to retail locations in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio. As of now, neither Coca-Cola nor the FDA has confirmed whether all the affected products have been removed from store shelves, meaning that consumers should be vigilant when purchasing. If you have already purchased or possess the recalled product, Coca-Cola advises discarding it or returning it to the place of purchase for a full refund.

For individuals who are monitoring their sugar intake due to medical conditions, the mislabeled product could pose a health risk. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported in connection with the recall, those with dietary restrictions should check the label carefully before consuming. The FDA is continuing its monitoring, but so far, no further actions have been taken beyond the recall announcement.
