PepsiCo is recalling this sugar-free soda because it actually has a ton of sugar

A soda giant has realized one of its products is actually full of the very thing it’s supposed to have none of: sugar.

The FDA announced that PepsiCo is voluntarily recalling its caffeine-free Schweppes Zero Sugar Ginger Ale because some cans inadvertently contain sugar.

The government agency said an internal investigation at PepsiCo revealed that some products labeled as “Zero Sugar” actually contain “full sugar,” making it unsafe for diabetics and others who need to avoid the ingredient.

PepsiCo initiated the recall on March 9. It includes products from three states: Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The FDA says affected units are labeled with the following code: May 20 24 MAY20240520VS02164 — MAY20240550VS0216.

When a company announces a recall, market withdrawal or safety alert, the FDA posts the announcement as a public service. The FDA hasn’t announced any reporting of related injuries on its posting of PepsiCo’s recall.

Luckily for customers concerned about whether or not they have any sugar-filled Zero Sugar ginger ale, a representative for PepsiCo tells TODAY.com there is currently no impacted product on shelves or for sale.
