Diet Pepsi; NOW ASPARTAME FREE; 6 PACK; 16 OZ BOTTLES; 6-16 FLOZ BOTTLES (96 FL OZ)

Hazard / Reason

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.

Class III: Product that is not likely to cause adverse health consequences.

Class III is the least severe classification. The product is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences but still violates FDA regulations.
