PepsiCo has issued a voluntary Class II recall affecting approximately 122,000 cases of Gatorade distributed across 37 U.S. states. The action was taken after the products were found to contain undeclared yellow food dyes, according to a notice published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The recall specifically targets 28-ounce bottles of Gatorade Lemon Lime, Gatorade Lime Zero, Gatorade Orange, and Gatorade Orange Zero. The company initiated the recall on September 25, as stated in the FDA advisory posted on its website.
I always buy the zero sugar versions. Does this affect everyone or just specific batches?
122,000 cases across 37 states? That seems like a massive scope for such a simple labeling error.
My son is allergic to yellow dye. Good thing I checked the recall list before he finished his bottle.
How can a company this big miss undeclared dyes? Quality control seems really lax lately.
I just drank the orange one yesterday. I hope no one gets sick. That is worrying news indeed.
