Over 122K cases of Gatorade recalled due to undeclared food dyes, FDA says

More than 122,000 cases of Gatorade are part of a voluntary recall, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration says.
The recall covers 28-ounce bottles of Lemon Lime, Lemon Lime Zero, Orange and Orange Zero. The labels omitted Yellow No. 5 and/or Yellow No. 6. Affected products have lot dates in April, May or June 2027; the FDA lists distribution states and specific dates online.
The recall began Sept. 25, and the FDA assigned it a Class II rating on Oct. 2. That category indicates possible temporary or reversible health effects, with serious harm considered unlikely.
The agency says reactions are uncommon but can include a mild rash or asthma-like allergic symptoms. Such reactions are more often reported among people who are allergic to aspirin.
Consumers can check the FDA’s online list to see whether their product and location are included. The article does not describe further steps from the company.
