Fact or Fiction: 'Zero Sugar' lemonade had 40 grams of sugar?

Posted

(KGTV)— A story you may have seen claims lemonade labeled as "zero sugar" is being recalled because it actually contained 40 grams of sugar.

It's true.

More than 13,000 12-packs of Coca-Cola's Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade was actually regular lemonade which contains 40 grams of sugar.

That poses a health risk for people with certain health conditions including diabetes.

Coca- Cola issued a voluntary recall of the mislabled product in September but never sent out a press release.

The FDA is just going public with the news now.

The recalled drink was not shipped to California.
