Fanta Orange 12-Pack Mislabeled as Zero Sugar Contains Full Sugar

Great Lakes Coca-Cola Distribution LLC is recalling Fanta Orange 12-pack cases distributed in California because packages labeled zero sugar actually contain full sugar. Consumers relying on accurate labeling for dietary reasons should not consume affected products.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II labeling error without reported illnesses or injuries. The mislabeling of sugar content presents a risk to consumers with dietary restrictions, but the hazard is theoretical without documented harm.

Plain-English summary

Fanta Orange 12-pack cases (12, 12 oz. cans) with date code FEB1224DDB1956 are being recalled due to labeling mismatch. Packages marked as zero sugar were filled with the full-sugar product.

Approximately 14,074 cases were distributed in California. The recalled product was manufactured by Great Lakes Coca-Cola Distribution LLC.

This mislabeling poses a concern for consumers managing sugar intake due to diabetes, weight management, or other dietary restrictions who may inadvertently consume full sugar believing they are drinking a zero-sugar product.

Consumers should check their purchase receipts and product date codes. If they have affected Fanta Orange packages, they should not consume them and return them to the point of purchase for a refund or exchange.
