What happened

PepsiCo distributed about 1,000 bottles of Mountain Dew labeled as 'Diet' at a Michigan State Fair and one retail location, but the bottles actually contained regular full-calorie Mountain Dew instead. This labeling error was caught and a recall was issued.

Who is at risk

People who are watching their sugar or calorie intake, including those managing diabetes or following specific diets, may be affected since they would have received regular soda instead of diet soda.

What to do

If you received a 20 oz. Diet Mountain Dew bottle from the Upper Peninsula State Fair giveaway or the Michigan retail location mentioned, do not drink it and contact the store or PepsiCo for a refund or exchange. The recall is limited to a small number of bottles from specific locations.
