Coca-Cola recalls more than 13,000 mislabeled canned Minute Maid drinks


The mislabeled drink was shipped to retailers in three different states.

More than 13,000 12-packs of Coca-Cola’s Minute Maid Sugar-Free Lemonade have been recalled after being mislabeled, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Approximately 13,153 cases, each with 12 cans of lemonade packed inside, were labeled as the sugar-free formula but contained regular Minute Maid lemonade with full sugar content.

In September, Coca-Cola issued a voluntary recall for the mislabeled product, which was shipped to retail stores in Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio, the company said in an emailed statement to USA TODAY. No press release has been issued regarding the recall, according to the FDA enforcement report.

“No affected products remain on the market,” Coca-Cola said. “All recall activities in these markets have been completed.”

USA TODAY contacted the FDA about the recall but has not yet received a response.

30 times more calories in mislabeled lemonade

The nutritional values ​​of the two drinks are very different.

In comparison, Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade has five calories, 2 g of carbs, and 0 g of sugar in 1 can, according to the nutrition information listed on InstaCart.

Regular Minute Maid Lemonade has 150 calories, 42g of carbs, and 40g of sugar.

How to identify recalled Minute Maid cans

Consumers may find “FEB1725CNA” and “FEB1725CNB” printed on the carton of the recalled product and on the bottom of the cans.

The phrase “CANNED UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY, ATLANTA, GA” is also printed below the nutritional information on the can.
