PepsiCo recalls 122,000 cases of Gatorade due to undeclared dyes

PepsiCo recalled about 122,000 cases of Gatorade sold in the U.S. after the FDA said the drinks contain undeclared dyes. The recall covers 28-ounce bottles of Gatorade Lemon Lime, Gatorade Lemon Lime Zero, Gatorade Orange and Gatorade Orange Zero distributed across 37 states. The FDA said the beverages contain Yellow No. 6 and/or Yellow No. 5, artificial color additives not listed on the products. PepsiCo began the recall on Sept. 25. On Oct. 2, the FDA upgraded it to Class II, meaning exposure “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.” The notice lists affected states and provides recall number H-0009-2027, while PepsiCo had not responded to a request about refunds.
