Mountain Dew Major Melon Zero recall

Recalled by Pepsico Inc · Purchase, NY, United States

Class III — Low risk. Unlikely to cause harm, but violates FDA regulations.

Why it was recalled

The outer wraps match the liquid in the can (Zero Sugar - Mountain Dew Major Melon) however the primary package (can) is incorrect (Full Sugar Mountain Dew Major Melon). Product inside can matches the product/nutritional panel on the point-of-sale outer container wrap.

These are failures of the safety steps that keep food safe - cooking, pasteurising, keeping cold, sealing - even when no contaminant has yet been found. All processing & sanitation problems recalls.

FDA's distribution note: Nationwide.

Low risk, but check. Class III means the product is unlikely to make anyone ill but breaks an FDA rule, often a labeling one. If your package matches, the store will normally refund it. FDA lists this recall as terminated: the company has finished removing the product, so it should no longer be on shelves - but it can still be in a freezer or pantry.
