PepsiCo is recalling Schweppes ZERO SUGAR GINGER ALE because the product contains full sugar despite zero-sugar labeling. The recalled product was distributed in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

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: FDA Class II mislabeling recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is a labeling discrepancy between the product's 'Zero Sugar' claim and its actual full-sugar formulation, which constitutes a minor labeling error without reported health consequences.
