Class II U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Admiral Beverage Corporation 7up Tropical beverage, shelf stable recall: Product may contain undeclared sugar

Recall published 18 days ago

Product may contain undeclared sugar.

The hazard: Undeclared allergen or ingredient

This is a labelling recall rather than a contamination one: something that must be declared is in the product and is not on the label.

What the notice says: Product may contain undeclared sugar.

Why it matters: An ingredient that U.S. law requires to be declared is present but missing from the label. People who avoid that ingredient cannot make a safe choice from the packaging.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

An undeclared allergen is a danger only to people allergic or intolerant to that ingredient. For everyone else the food is safe. Reactions range from an itchy mouth, hives, stomach cramps or vomiting through to anaphylaxis — swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, a tight chest, wheezing, a sudden drop in blood pressure or collapse. If anaphylaxis is suspected, use an epinephrine auto-injector straight away and call 911, even if the symptoms seem to settle, because a second wave can follow hours later.

What to do about Allergen

Admiral Beverage Corporation — This is a labelling recall rather than a contamination one: something that must be declared is in the product and is not on the label.

  1. Read the official notice above for the exact ingredient involved, then check whether anyone in your home avoids it.
  2. Report any reaction to the FDA so it is recorded against this recall.
  3. If nobody here avoids it, the product is safe to eat; the refund is still available if you would rather return it.
  4. If someone does avoid it, stop serving it and check anything already cooked with it.

How to get your money back

Food recalls carry a full refund, and in the United States you usually do not need the receipt or the packaging.

  • Take the product, or your photo of the label, to the customer service desk of the store where you bought it. Nearly every national grocer refunds recalled food on the spot.
  • Bought it online? Open the order in your account and use the refund option; marketplace sellers are required to honour a federal recall.
  • If the store refuses, contact the recalling company using the details on this page. The firm, not the shop, carries the cost of a recall.
  • If you have a loyalty card, the retailer can look the purchase up in your history — Kroger, Costco and Walmart all do this routinely.
