Coca-Cola Recalls 13,000 Cases of Product Due to Mislabeling

The Coca-Cola Company has recalled certain 12-packs of Minute Made Zero Sugar Lemonade because the cans inside the carton are regular Minute Maid Lemonade with sugar—and labeled as such. If consumers purchased the carton labeled “Zero Sugar,” they might not pay attention to the label on each can inside, indicating it contains the full amount of sugar.

The 12-pack cartons were shipped to stores in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio.

How to Identify the Recalled Minute Maid Lemonade

Over 13,000 mislabeled 12-pack cartons are labeled Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade and have the UPC 0 25000 12115 9. The phrase “CANNED UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY, ATLANTA, GA” is printed on the carton. The cartons also have the following code and expiration date information: FEB1725CNA and FEB1725CNB.

According to the FDA, the recall was initiated on Sept. 10, 2024, and was updated on Oct. 10, 2024, to set the risk level to Class II. The FDA defines a Class II recall as “a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.”

Retailers and consumers in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio should check any 12-packs with cartons labeled Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade to determine if they are part of the recall. Consumers can return the mislabeled product to the place of purchase for a refund.
