PepsiCo Is Recalling Popular Zero Sugar Drink After It Was Found to Contain Full Sugar

PepsiCo, Inc. voluntarily recalled over 230 cases of Schweppes Zero Sugar Ginger Ale Caffeine Free after an internal investigation found that cans labeled as sugar-free actually contained full sugar. The recall is in conjunction with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), and while it was initiated on March 9, an investigation is ongoing.

The FDA has not reported any illnesses or injuries related to the recall; however, if you are controlling your sugar intake for medical reasons, it may be dangerous for you to consume the recalled product. If you feel like you're seeing double, this is the second major soda brand recall in as many weeks.
