Coca-Cola has recalled thousands of cans of Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade that were improperly labeled and actually contained the regular formula of lemonade with 40 grams of sugar, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The recall, which Coca-Cola issued in September but didn’t announce publicly, applied to 13,152 cases, each with 12 cartons of 12 cans of 12 ounces of lemonade.
The mislabeled product was shipped to retail stores in Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. The affected product included cartons with the codes: FEB1725CNA or FEB1725CNB. The UPC code is 0 25000 12115 9.
The 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.”
A spokesperson for Coca-Cola said in a statement, reported by multiple outlets, “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 of it or return it to their place of purchase for a refund.
The Hill has reached out to Cola-Cola for comment.
