PepsiCo is recalling more than 200 Schweppes Zero Sugar Ginger Ale drinks after they were found to contain added sugar.
The Food and Drug Administration announced that the recall affects products shipped to Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.
According to the government agency, PepsiCo has launched an internal investigation and found that some products labeled as “no sugar” actually contain “complete sugars” and are used by diabetics and others to avoid sugar. It has been determined that it is not safe for those who are exposed to the virus.
The FDA announced that the recall began on March 9th.
It is unclear whether the affected product was consumed by the customer.
The FDA is warning the public to avoid products labeled with the following codes: May 20, 24, MAY20240520VS02164 — MAY20240550VS0216.
The Post has reached out to PepsiCo for comment.
“Zero Sugar” ginger ale is intended to compete with Coca-Cola’s “Coke Zero,” a sugar-free soft drink that contains artificial sweeteners.
