Not all food and beverage recalls occur due to illness-inducing bacteria. Sometimes, ingredients that are perfectly safe for some people can pose risks to others. That’s exactly what happened with 2,854 cases of Lipton Green Tea Citrus. Each outer case label says “Lipton Green Tea Citrus,” while the individual bottles say “Lipton Diet Green Tea Mixed Berry .”

The flavor is listed correctly on the case but incorrectly on the individual bottles. This is a major issue because the label on the bottles is for a diet product with 0 grams of sugar, but the beverage actually contains 25 grams of sugar.

On October 2, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classified this PepsiCo recall from September 17 as a Class II recall. This means drinking the beverage “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences,” according to the agency.

Certain health conditions, such as diabetes, require routine monitoring of daily sugar intake to help prevent glucose levels from spiking. If you watch your sugar intake for medical reasons like diabetes, it can be dangerous to drink the now-recalled product.

This recall wasn’t publicly announced by Pepsi, so individual bottles could still be in your refrigerator or pantry.

How To Identify the Recalled Beverage

The affected tea was sold in 10 states: Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Wyoming, and South Dakota. Each of the 2,854 recalled cases contains two 12-packs.

Here’s what to look for on the outer wrap and the individual bottle labels:

• Size: 12-pack of 16.9-ounce bottles
• Outer Wrap: Lipton Green Tea Citrus
• Bottle Label: Lipton Diet Green Tea Mixed Berry
• Code Information on Individual Bottles and Outer Wrap: DEC 01 25. HHMM DW 08035
  

You’ll want to check what’s in your refrigerator and pantry at home, as well as products in shared spaces—like the Lipton in your office’s break room refrigerator, for example. Here’s how to tell if a product you have is part of a recall.

What To Do With the Recalled Tea

If you watch your sugar intake for medical reasons, toss any individual bottles of Lipton Diet Green Tea Mixed Berry; it’s full-sugar Lipton Green Tea Citrus in disguise.

If you don’t have a medical concern, but want a refund on the product because it’s not the advertised flavor, contact a PepsiCo customer service representative at 800-433-2652.
