Coca-Cola has recalled over 13,000 cases of its popular Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade after discovering the drink may contain full sugar, despite being labeled as sugar-free. The voluntary recall was initiated on September 10 in coordination with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA).

The FDA classified this as a Class II recall, meaning that consuming the mislabeled product could cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health effects. This is especially concerning for consumers managing their sugar intake due to conditions like diabetes.
The affected products include 12-ounce cans of Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade with codes FEB1725CNA and FEB1725CNB. These were distributed to stores in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio. It is unclear if the mislabeled products have been removed from store shelves, so consumers are urged to check labels before purchasing. Those who have already purchased the product are advised to discard it or return it for a refund.
Consumers who rely on sugar-free products for medical reasons may face serious health risks if they unknowingly consume the full-sugar beverage. Drinking a sugar-laden product under the assumption that it is sugar-free could lead to spikes in blood sugar levels, posing potential danger, especially for individuals with diabetes or other conditions requiring strict sugar control.
Neither Coca-Cola nor the FDA has reported any illnesses or injuries linked to the recall at this time.
