   PepsiCo Recalls Over 122,000 Cases of Gatorade in 37 States

   PepsiCo has voluntarily recalled more than 122,000 cases of Gatorade drinks sold across 37 states, including New York, New Jersey, South Carolina, and Michigan. The Food and Drug Administration reported that the products are being pulled because their labels omit artificial yellow dyes, specifically Yellow No. 5 and Yellow No. 6. The affected items involve select 28-ounce bottles of Lemon Lime and Orange flavors. Consumers who purchased these drinks are advised to check their products and return them.

   Why it matters

Regulatory oversight requires accurate labeling to ensure consumers are fully informed of all additives contained within packaged goods. The widespread distribution spanning 37 states has prompted widespread alerts and return instructions from retailers and public health monitors.
