If you are going to enjoy a refreshing 7Up today, do your due diligence and make sure it’s not one that has been recalled by the FDA.
A major labeling error at a distribution center has meant zero-sugar 7Ups are actually full of sugar, per All Recipes.
More than 1,950 cases of 7Up Zero Sugar Tropical Soda have been recalled due to this error.
While you might not think it’s that big of a deal that a sugar-free soda contains sugar, that can be very troublesome for people with diabetes, spiking their insulin levels due to the fact that the drink has 38 grams of sugar per can.
The FDA has officially deemed this recall a Class II, which means drinking the soda “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.”
If you are worried that you might have some of this recalled product lurking in your pantry, look for 12 oz. aluminum cans of 7Up Zero Sugar Tropical Soda in a cardboard carton that’s labeled as 7Up Tropical Flavored Soda.
More specifically, the cans will have the UPC 078000037975 and the cardboard boxes will have the UPC 078000037982. The recalled products all have the lot numbers XXXXBR062156 or XXXXBR062256 as well as a “use by” date of March 23, 2026.
You can bring the affected cartons back to the store where you purchased them for a full refund.
Who Makes 7Up?
Keurig Dr Pepper manufactures and owns the 7Up brand in the United States.
When Was 7Up Invented?
Buckle up, this is a wild ride: 7Up was made by Charles Leiper Grigg in October 1929. Originally, it was called “Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda” and contained the mood-stabilizing ingredient lithium citrate.
For some odd reason, people thought the name was too long and settled on 7Up.
