Coca-Cola Cherry Zero Sugar Recalls Cans Missing PKU Warning Label
Coca-Cola Cherry Zero Sugar 12-packs distributed in AZ, UT, and WY are being recalled because individual cans lack required phenylketonuric (PKU) warning labels, which are necessary for people with phenylketonuria.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall for missing required phenylketonuria (PKU) warning labels on cans distributed to consumers. The recall meets the high-severity threshold as a risk-of-harm product affecting individuals with phenylketonuria, who require accurate labeling to safely manage their dietary phenylalanine intake. No illnesses have been reported.
Plain-English summary
Coca-Cola Cherry Zero Sugar 12-packs are being recalled because the individual cans inside are incorrectly labeled. While the exterior packaging correctly identifies the product as Cherry Coca-Cola Zero, the 12 oz cans contained within are labeled as Cherry Coca-Cola and lack the required warning notification for phenylketonurics that the beverage contains phenylalanine.
Phenylalanine is a compound that people with phenylketonuria (PKU), a genetic metabolic disorder, must carefully monitor in their diet. The warning label is required to alert individuals with PKU so they can make informed consumption decisions.
The recalled products were distributed in Arizona, Utah, and Wyoming. Approximately 740 cases (each containing 2 twelve-packs) were affected, with product codes MAY3022TOA. Consumers who have purchased these items should not consume them if they have phenylketonuria and should contact the manufacturer or retailer for a refund or replacement.
