Agency Publication Date: September 20, 2022

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Pepsico Inc has voluntarily recalled 6,496 cases of Mountain Dew Major Melon Zero 12-packs because the individual cans inside contain full-sugar soda instead of the zero-sugar version. While the outer carton wrap correctly identifies the product as zero-sugar, the cans inside are mislabeled as containing full sugar, though they match the zero-sugar liquid. This recall affects 12-ounce cans sold in 12-pack cartons nationwide.

Risk

Consumers who need to monitor or limit their sugar intake for medical reasons, such as diabetes, may be confused by the conflicting labels between the outer packaging and the individual cans. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.
