Gatorade Recall: 122K Cases Pulled in 37 States Over Undeclared Dyes

Anyone who has an affected bottle should not drink it and should discard it or return it to the store where it was purchased.

PepsiCo has not issued a public press release about the recall, and the company has not yet responded to media requests for comment.

The FDA defines a Class II recall as one in which exposure to the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects, and the chance of serious harm is considered unlikely. No illnesses or injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.

The affected Gatorade was distributed to 37 states, including New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, Texas, Florida and Illinois. Based on the FDA's list, the recall does NOT include product sold in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, Oregon, Montana, Wyoming or Washington, D.C.

The products were recalled because they contain Yellow No. 5 and/or Yellow No. 6, synthetic food dyes that were not listed on the label. Both dyes are approved by the FDA, but federal rules require them to be declared on packaging because Yellow No. 5 can cause allergic-type reactions, including asthma symptoms, in some sensitive people.

Consumers can find the lot code printed on the bottle and compare it against the FDA recall notice.

The recall covers four flavors sold in 28-ounce bottles: Gatorade Lemon Lime, Gatorade Lemon Lime Zero, Gatorade Orange and Gatorade Orange Zero. Fifteen lot codes are affected, all carrying best-by dates between April 18 and June 8, 2027.

PepsiCo voluntarily initiated a recall of 122,021 cases of 28-ounce Gatorade on September 25, and the FDA classified the action as a Class II recall on October 2. The recall remains ongoing.
