Swire Coca Cola USA has recalled 740 cases of Cherry Coca-Cola Zero Sugar 12-pack fridge packs because the individual cans inside are mislabeled. Although the outer box correctly identifies the soda as Zero Sugar, the 12 oz. cans inside are incorrectly labeled as regular Cherry Coca-Cola and do not warn consumers that the beverage contains phenylalanine. No injuries or illnesses have been reported to date.
The product contains phenylalanine, a component of aspartame. This poses a serious health risk to individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare genetic disorder that prevents the body from properly processing this amino acid.
You have 2 options:
Exterior packaging is correct; however, cans inside are incorrectly labeled as Cherry Coca-Cola and lack the required phenylalanine notification for phenylketonurics.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
