by FoodRecallsDB.infoWhat happened
Some packages of Diet Pepsi Caffeine Free were labeled incorrectly on the outside box, saying they were aspartame-free when they actually contain aspartame. The inner packaging had the correct labeling.
Who is at risk
People who need to avoid aspartame due to phenylketonuria (PKU) or personal preference should be concerned.
What to do
If you purchased this product in Connecticut, Maine, Rhode Island, or Massachusetts, check the outer packaging. If it says aspartame-free but you need to avoid aspartame, do not drink it. Contact Pepsi or your retailer for a refund or replacement.
