Timeline

| 18 Jul 2023 | Classified by FDA | +10 days |
| 26 Jul 2023 | Published in enforcement report | +8 days |

Reason for recall
Undeclared aspartame and lack of Phenylketonurics warning on immediate container (16.9fl.oz. bottle)
Food allergen labelling is required by US law for the nine major allergens. A product recalled for an undeclared allergen is only a risk to people with that allergy; everyone else can consume it safely.
