Gatorade Issues Major Recall Across More than 30 States

The recall covers 122,021 cases of 28-ounce bottles after the FDA said the drinks contained undeclared synthetic dyes that could affect sensitive consumers.

  • On October 2, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration classified a voluntary PepsiCo recall of 122,021 cases of Gatorade across 37 states, citing undeclared yellow food dyes in 28-ounce bottles.
  • Initiated by PepsiCo on September 25, the Class II recall addresses a labeling error rather than contamination, meaning exposure "may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences" for sensitive consumers.
  • Affected products include 28-ounce Lemon Lime, Orange, and their Zero variants across 15 lot codes, which may pose risks for consumers with asthma or sensitivities to artificial dyes like tartrazine.
  • Consumers should verify bottle lot numbers against the official notice and discontinue use if sensitive, though no illnesses or reactions linked to the products have been publicly reported to date.
  • PepsiCo previously announced plans to remove artificial colors from its portfolio by fall 2026, though the company has not publicly explained how this specific labeling oversight occurred.
