Pepsi Beverages Company is recalling Dr. Pepper Zero Sugar aluminum cans because the product contains full sugar despite being labeled as zero sugar. Affected 12 and 24 pack cases were distributed to Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.
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 2/5 (Moderate).
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 classified this as Class II, but the source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. The mislabeling is factual but the hazard is limited to consumers who specifically need to avoid sugar for medical or dietary reasons, making this a moderate-severity labeling issue.
