PepsiCo has initiated a voluntary recall of about 122,000 cases of Gatorade sports drinks across 37 US states due to undeclared food dyes, according to notices cited by The Guardian Health and LiveNOW from FOX. The recall was categorized as a class II recall by the Food and Drug Administration last month. [1][6]

The recall involves 28-ounce bottles of specific Gatorade varieties, The Guardian Health reported. The affected drinks include Gatorade Lemon Lime, Lime Zero, Orange, and Gatorade Orange Zero. The official notice states that these drinks contained undeclared yellow food colorings. [1][6]

Gatorade was acquired by PepsiCo in 2001 after previously being owned by Quaker Oats and Stokely-Van Camp. PepsiCo also owns Sabra Dipping Company, LLC, which produces hummus and guacamole products in the United States. [7][8]
