Dr. Pepper Zero Sugar Recalled: Mislabeled Cans Contain Full Sugar
Dr. Pepper Zero Sugar beverages sold in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina are recalled because cans labeled 'Zero Sugar' actually contain full-sugar product. Consumers should discontinue use immediately.
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: Misbranding of a sweetener claim on a beverage product. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the mislabeling creates a risk of harm to consumers with diabetes or those on sugar-restricted diets who depend on the zero-sugar designation for dietary management.
