PepsiCo announced it is recalling certain Lipton Green Tea Citrus products after discovering that the bottles were mislabeled. The affected bottles are labeled as Lipton Diet Green Tea Mixed Berry, which lists zero sugar, but actually contain Lipton Green Tea Citrus with 25 grams of sugar. The ingredient list on the outer case, however, is accurate.

Consumers who monitor their sugar intake for health reasons are advised not to drink the mislabeled tea. The FDA recommends discarding the product or returning it to the place of purchase for a refund or replacement.

For those who do not need to track sugar intake, the product is safe to consume, as the recall is due to a labeling and packaging error rather than a safety concern. Still, anyone who prefers may return the product for a refund or replacement.
