Reason for recall
The firm stated that they placed Peach Tea Labels on Diet Peach Tea bottles. The product contains undeclared Malic Acid and Citrus Pectin.
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.
