At this point, it’s common knowledge that sugar-reduced sodas aren’t necessarily better for you than their alternatives. But PepsiCo was recently forced to recall thousands of cans of Schweppes Zero Sugar Ginger Ale because they were found to be, well, chock-full of sugar.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the beverage conglomerate voluntarily issued a recall on March 9 after an international investigation discovered that the product in question contained just as much sugar as regular Schweppes. The recall included 230 cases (roughly 5,600 cans) of “sugar-free” Schweppes Ginger Ale that was sent to retailers in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.
