Pepsi recalls another carbonated drink due to sugar blending…
PepsiCo has recalled another popular soft drink brand after its sugar content was mislabeled.
The FDA announced that New York-based PepsiCo has voluntarily recalled more than 2,000 cases of Mug Root Beer because the cans actually contain Mug Zero Sugar root beer.
The recall began on March 22, although the FDA announced it on Wednesday. The findings came to light through an ‘internal investigation’.
The FDA report said the 2,801 affected cases were shipped to Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
The FDA announced that New York-based PepsiCo has voluntarily recalled more than 2,000 cases of its Mug Root Beer because the cans actually contain Mug Zero Sugar root beer.
The affected cans of Mug had the code information “JUL2224XXXXAS02234, best before date July 22, 2024.” It is unclear whether they reached store shelves or homes.
The news comes about a week after the company recalled 233 cases of its sugar-free and caffeine-free Schweppes Zero Sugar Ginger Ale because it actually contained “whole sugar.”
In the case of Schweppes, PepsiCo told DailyMail.com that all affected products have been removed from store shelves.
However, customers who purchased the product were advised to throw it away, especially if they needed to monitor their blood sugar levels, as in the case of diabetics.
PepsiCo confirmed to DailyMail.com that none of the affected Mug products are on store shelves.
