Dr. Pepper Zero Sugar cans mislabeled as zero sugar contain full sugar

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.

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 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.
