PepsiCo has voluntarily recalled about 122,000 cases of Gatorade sold across 37 U.S. states after the drinks were found to contain undeclared food dyes, according to a federal notice. The recall covers 28oz bottles of Gatorade Lemon Lime, Lime Zero, Orange and Orange Zero. The FDA classified the action as a Class II recall and said the undeclared coloring could pose a risk to sensitive consumers, potentially causing temporary adverse health effects. The recall was initiated last month. Consumers who purchased the affected products are advised to discard them.
