What this means for you
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: FDA Class II classification applies. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. The hazard is a labeling mismatch that presents a risk of harm to consumers with sugar-restricted diets, but remains theoretical absent reported injuries.
Plain-English summary
PepsiCo Inc is recalling Lipton Green Tea Citrus beverages distributed in 16.9 ounce individual bottles sold as 12-pack cases. The individual bottle labeling states "Lipton Diet Green Tea Mixed Berry" with 0g sugar, but this does not accurately reflect the sugar content of the product inside the bottle.
The labeling discrepancy creates a potential health risk for consumers managing their sugar intake, including those with diabetes or other dietary restrictions who rely on accurate product labeling.
Approximately 2,854 cases have been distributed across Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Wyoming, and South Dakota. Products bear code markings "DEC 01 25" and "HHMM DW 08035." Consumers who have purchased affected product should discontinue use and contact PepsiCo for further instructions.
