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 its Mug Root Beer because the cans actually contained Mug Zero Sugar root beer.
The recall began on March 22, although the FDA announced it on Wednesday. The findings were discovered through an “internal investigation.”
The FDA report states that the 2,801 affected cases were sent 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 contained Mug Zero Sugar root beer.
The affected Mug cans had the code information ‘JUL2224XXXXAS02234, Best by Date JUL 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 “full 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 control their blood sugar level, such as diabetics.
DailyMail.com has contacted PepsiCo for comment.
