PepsiCo Recalls Mug Root Beer and Schweppes Ginger Ale Amid Mislabeling Issues
The soda giant faces repeated labeling errors, risking health concerns for sugar-avoidant consumers like diabetics.
- PepsiCo has issued recalls for over 2,800 cases of Mug Root Beer and 233 cases of Schweppes Zero Sugar Ginger Ale due to mislabeling.
- The affected Mug Root Beer cases, mistakenly containing the 'Zero Sugar' variant, were distributed across six states in the U.S.
- The mislabeled Schweppes Ginger Ale cans, containing full-sugar soda instead of the zero sugar version, were shipped to Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.
- The recalls began in March, with the FDA officially announcing the investigations recently.
- Health risks posed by these mislabeling incidents are particularly significant for individuals who need to manage their sugar intake, such as diabetics.
