Pepsico Inc

Recall #F-1738-2022 · Initiated 2022-08-17

Plain-language summary

by FoodRecallsDB.info

What happened

PepsiCo sold Mountain Dew Major Melon Zero Sugar in 12-packs where the individual cans were labeled as regular (full sugar) Mountain Dew instead of zero sugar, even though the outer box was correct and the actual drink inside is zero sugar.

Who is at risk

People who need to avoid sugar, including those with diabetes or following sugar-restricted diets, may be concerned about the labeling mismatch.

What to do

Check your Mountain Dew Major Melon Zero 12-packs for the UPC codes listed (0 12000 20506 4 for individual cans or 0 12000 20507 1 for the carton). If you have them, you can return the product to the store for a refund; the drink itself is safe but the can label is incorrect.

Product

Mountain Dew Major Melon Zero, 12 FL OZ (355mL) can, sold as 12 pack. Bottled under the authority of Pepsico, Inc. Purchase, NY 10577. UPC 0 12000 20506 4 (can) UPC 0 12000 20507 1 (12 pack carton)

Reason for recall

The outer wraps match the liquid in the can (Zero Sugar - Mountain Dew Major Melon) however the primary package (can) is incorrect (Full Sugar Mountain Dew Major Melon). Product inside can matches the product/nutritional panel on the point-of-sale outer container wrap.
