The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recalled thousands of cases of Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade that were improperly labeled and actually contain the regular formula with 40 grams of sugar. Approximately 13,152 cases were shipped to retail stores in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio, each with 12 cans of the sugary drink. The regular lemonade has significantly more calories and carbs than the Zero Sugar version, according to Instacart. The recall was issued by Coca-Cola on September 10, but was not publicized in a press release. The FDA classified the recall as Class II, meaning there is a remote probability of adverse health consequences. Consumers can identify affected cans by checking for the codes “FEB1725CNA” and “FEB1725CNB” on the carton and bottom of the cans. Coca-Cola has not responded to requests for comment from NBC News. Consumers who have purchased the mislabeled lemonade are advised not to consume it and to contact Coca-Cola for further instructions.
