7Up recalls 23,000 cans of Tropical Zero Sugar over sugar mix-up

7Up recall overview:

• Who: 7Up is recalling more than 23,000 cans of 7Up Tropical Zero Sugar.
• Why: The cans were mistakenly filled with the regular sugary version of the drink.
• Where: The recall is active in the United States, specifically in Alabama, Florida and Georgia.

7Up has issued a recall for more than 23,000 cans of its Tropical Zero Sugar beverage after discovering that they were mistakenly filled with the regular sugary version. 

This error poses a significant concern for individuals with health conditions like diabetes or those avoiding sugar for dietary reasons. 

The recall was initiated on July 31 and classified as a Class II recall by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This classification indicates that the consumption of the product could lead to temporary or reversible health issues, though it is not considered life-threatening. 

The affected cans, distributed across Alabama, Florida and Georgia, are marked with an expiration date of March 2026. According to the recall, some cans labeled “Zero Sugar” actually contain regular, full-sugar soda. 

Consumers advised to check cans and not to consume matching recall items

The recall notice emphasizes the importance of checking the expiration date on 7Up Tropical Zero Sugar cans, especially for those residing in the affected states. 

The FDA’s Class II recall designation suggests a moderate health risk, but it is crucial for consumers who avoid sugar to heed the warning. 

7Up is actively working to rectify the situation by notifying retailers and consumers about the recall. The company advises customers who have purchased the affected cans to return them to the place of purchase for a refund or replacement.

For more information about the recall, consumers can visit the FDA’s official website or contact the store where the purchase was made. Alternatively, you can call the toll free 7Up number at 1-800-696-5891, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. CDT, Monday to Friday.

7Up says it has not received any reports of illness or injury related to the recall so far. The company is not currently facing legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes lead to class action lawsuits. 

However, 7Up is currently facing a class action lawsuit over claims that it falsely advertises some soda products as made with 100% natural flavors.
