Dr Pepper is recalling hundreds of thousands of cans of Dr Pepper Zero Soda after it was found that some cans were mistakenly labeled as “zero sugar” when they actually contain full sugar. The recall affects 19,203 cases of 12-packs and 24-packs of Dr Pepper Zero Sugar 12-ounce cans, which were distributed to Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.
The voluntary recall was initiated on May 23, and the FDA classified it as a Class II recall on June 5. A Class II recall is issued when a product might cause temporary or reversible health issues, or when the likelihood of serious health consequences is remote. Sugary beverages can pose health risks, particularly for people with conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, and type 2 diabetes, as they may worsen these conditions.
Dr Pepper Zero is typically made with aspartame, a sugar substitute, but the recalled cans contain regular sugar. The affected cans have a “best by” date of February 16, 2026.
Keurig Dr Pepper, the parent company of Dr Pepper, confirmed the issue, stating that the recalled cans were produced at a PepsiCo bottling facility licensed to manufacture some Keurig Dr Pepper products. The company also assured that the affected products have been removed from stores. However, Dr Pepper did not provide any information about whether any consumers have been impacted by the recall.
