- PepsiCo recalls over 34,000 bottles of Lipton Iced Tea due to mislabeling.
- The individual bottles inside the recalled 12-packs are incorrectly labeled as zero sugar.
- This can be harmful for those who monitor their sugar intake for certain health conditions.
PepsiCo has issued an ongoing recall for 34,000 bottles of Lipton Green Tea Citrus because the bottles have been mislabeled. While the outside packaging is correctly labeled as Lipton Green Tea Citrus, the bottles inside the outer packaging are labeled as Lipton Diet Green Tea Mixed Berry. Due to this mislabeling, the nutrition information printed on the individual bottles is incorrect.
The drinks were packaged in 12-pack containers, with 24 bottles in total making up a case. 2,854 cases in total are affected by the recall, with products being distributed in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Wyoming and South Dakota.
To better identify if your product is affected, check the packaging for a sell-by-date of “Dec. 1, 2025” and the code HHMM DW 08035. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has declared this recall as a Class II classification, meaning that the consumption of the recalled product could cause “temporary or medically reversible” health issues.
The mislabeling of these drinks can be especially harmful for consumers who monitor their sugar intake for certain health conditions, such as diabetes. While the Lipton Diet Green Tea Mixed Berry is labeled as having zero grams of sugar, the Lipton Green Tea Citrus that is actually inside the bottles have 25 grams of sugar.
While this product is not unsafe to consume if you do not monitor your sugar intake, you can still return your items to the retailer you purchased from for a full refund. For questions about this recall, contact your local FDA Complaint Coordinator.
