Admiral Beverage Corporation — Class II: 7up Tropical beverage, shelf stable, 12oz can in a 12pk wrap, labeled as 7 up Tropical Bev
Admiral Beverage Corporation initiated a Class II recall for 7up Tropical beverage after discovering that 12oz cans labeled as '7Up Tropical Zero Sugar' actually contained full sugar soda within 12-pack wraps.
This affects Admiral Beverage Corporation, Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc., and quality control personnel responsible for carbonated soft drink labeling and packaging.
The presence of undeclared sugar in a product labeled as 'Zero Sugar' poses a significant risk to consumers with metabolic disorders, such as diabetes, who rely on accurate labeling for blood glucose management. From a regulatory perspective, this suggests a failure in packaging reconciliation or labeling controls, potentially leading to misbranding charges if not remediated through a recall.
QA teams should review line clearance procedures to prevent the mixing of primary containers during packaging. Regulatory and compliance leads should verify that finished product labeling accurately reflects the sugar content of the actual contents, particularly for 'Zero Sugar' claims.
Class II. Reason: Product may contain undeclared sugar.. Product: 7up Tropical beverage, shelf stable, 12oz can in a 12pk wrap, labeled as 7 up Tropical Beverage containing cans that are labeled as 7Up Tropical Zero Sugar which contain full sugar soda. 12 fl oz, UPC: 0 78000 03798 2, Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc., 6425 Hall of Fame Lane, Frisco TX 75034..
