Keurig Dr Pepper is recalling select cans of 7UP Zero Sugar after discovering that some cans actually contain the full-sugar version of the soda instead of the zero-sugar formula advertised on the label. The mix-up was flagged to the FDA because the mislabeling poses a real risk to people managing diabetes or watching their sugar intake, who may unknowingly consume a sugary beverage they believe is sugar-free.
What's Being Recalled?
The recall covers specific batches of 7UP Zero Sugar canned soda distributed to retailers nationwide. Affected cans carry date codes and UPCs tied to the mixed-up production run, printed on the bottom of the can. Shoppers should check their receipts and remaining stock against the codes listed on the FDA's recall notice before consuming any cans purchased in recent weeks.
Why Was This Product Recalled?
The issue stems from a packaging error at the production facility: cans labeled as 7UP Zero Sugar were actually filled with regular, full-sugar 7UP. For most consumers this is simply a labeling mix-up, but for people with diabetes or others strictly limiting sugar for medical reasons, drinking a can they believe is sugar-free could meaningfully affect blood sugar levels. The company flagged the error after internal checks caught the discrepancy.
What Should You Do?
If you have 7UP Zero Sugar cans at home, check the date codes against those listed in the official recall notice. If your cans match, don't drink them, especially if you're diabetic or avoiding sugar for health reasons. Discard the cans or return them to the store where purchased for a refund. If you've already consumed an affected can and have health concerns, contact your doctor.
