Over 77,000 cans of 7UP recalled over sugar mislabeling

A can labeled “Zero Sugar” has no business with the sugar in the regular version. But mix-ups happen, and that is precisely what occurred at Keurig Dr Pepper. The FDA has classified a recall involving about 77,000 cans of 7UP Tropical Zero Sugar after some cans were found to contain the full-sugar version instead. The affected drinks were distributed in Utah.

The cans say Zero Sugar but the soda says otherwise

The recalled product involves 3,240 cases, with 12-ounce cans packed into 12-packs. The outer cases are correctly labeled as 7UP Tropical, but some individual cans inside are labeled 7UP Tropical Zero Sugar.

Now, the problem is those supposedly zero-sugar cans contain the regular full-sugar drink, which has 38 grams of sugar.

Check your 7UP before cracking it open

According to Keurig Dr Pepper, Admiral Beverage Corporation—an independent bottler—voluntarily recalled the affected products after discovering that some cases could contain cans mislabeled as Zero Sugar. The recall was originally initiated on August 20, while the FDA classified it on September 29 as Class II, meaning the product could cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The concern is particularly relevant for people who need to limit their sugar intake for medical reasons.

It is unclear whether any of the affected cans actually made it into consumers' hands.  Still, it is worth keeping in mind that the recall is limited to a specific batch of 12-ounce cans distributed in Utah. If you have 7UP Tropical Zero Sugar that matches, check for Lot code UT06176, UPC 0 78000 03798 2 and a Best by date of March 17, 2027.

If you have a can matching the recalled information and really do not want the sugar intake, you can throw it away or return it to the retailer for a refund.
