Recalled by Pepsi Cola Bottling Company

Classification

Class III — Products that are unlikely to cause any adverse health reaction, but that violate FDA labeling or manufacturing laws.

Reason for Recall

Case labeling (shrink-wrap labeling) for Diet Pepsi 6 packs (6-16oz bottles) may indicate that the product is "Now Aspartame Free" when the product actually contains aspartame. The individual 16 oz. bottles have aspartame declared in the ingredient statements. The outer wrapping has the incorrect/misdeclared "Now Aspartame Free" declaration.
