The incorrectly labeled drinks were distributed to stores in three states.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has reported that over 13,000 12-packs of Coca-Cola’s Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade have been recalled due to incorrect labeling.
A total of approximately 13,153 cases, each containing 12 cans, were supposed to feature the zero-sugar beverage but instead included regular Minute Maid Lemonade, which has full sugar content.
In September, Coca-Cola voluntarily recalled the mislabeled product, which was sent to retail outlets in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio. The company, in a statement to YSL News, noted that no official press release was issued for this recall, as highlighted in the FDA’s enforcement report.
Coca-Cola confirmed, “No affected product remains on store shelves. All recall actions in those areas are complete.”
YSL News reached out to the FDA for more information about the recall but has not yet received a response.

The nutritional content of the two beverages shows significant differences.
In terms of calories, Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade contains just 5 calories, 2g of carbohydrates, and no sugar per can, as listed on InstaCart.
In comparison, regular Minute Maid Lemonade has 150 calories, 42g of carbohydrates, and 40g of sugar.
Identifying the recalled Minute Maid cans
Consumers should look for the codes “FEB1725CNA” and “FEB1725CNB” which are printed on the carton as well as on the can bottoms of the recalled products.
The phrase “CANNED UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY, ATLANTA, GA” is also visible on the right side of the nutrition facts label on both the carton and can.
