7UP Tropical Zero Sugar Recall: Check These Utah Lot Codes

More than 77,000 cans of 7UP Tropical are being recalled in Utah after some full-sugar soda was packaged in cans labeled “7UP Tropical Zero Sugar.” The recall matters especially for people who monitor carbohydrate or sugar intake and may rely on the label when managing diabetes or other health conditions.

Admiral Beverage Corporation began the recall on August 20, 2026. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration classified it as a Class II recall on September 29, meaning use of the affected product may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences, while the chance of serious consequences is considered remote.

How to identify the recalled 7UP

The affected soda was sold in 12-packs of 12-ounce cans and distributed only in Utah. Consumers should check for all of the following identifiers:

• Product: 7UP Tropical in a 12-pack containing cans labeled 7UP Tropical Zero Sugar
• UPC: 0 78000 03798 2
• Lot or batch code: UT06176
• Best-by date: March 17, 2027
• Distribution area: Utah

The recall covers 6,458 cases, or 77,496 cans. The outer case is labeled as regular 7UP Tropical, while the cans inside are labeled Zero Sugar even though they may contain the full-sugar product.

Why the labeling error matters

According to 7UP’s current product nutrition information, a 12-ounce serving of regular Tropical 7UP contains 38 grams of sugar, while Tropical Zero Sugar is labeled as containing zero grams. That difference can be significant for people calculating carbohydrate intake or adjusting medication based on what a beverage label says.

The recall is tied to incorrect labeling, not contamination. The regular soda is not considered unsafe for most consumers simply because it contains sugar, but a mislabeled can could create an avoidable health risk for someone who needs or intends to avoid sugar.

Health reported the FDA classification and product details on September 30. Consumers should use the product codes rather than relying only on the color or appearance of the packaging.

What consumers should do

Anyone with the matching product should avoid drinking it if unexpected sugar could pose a health concern. The soda can be discarded or returned to the place of purchase for a refund, subject to the retailer’s policy. People who consumed the mislabeled product and have concerns about blood sugar should follow their usual monitoring plan and contact a healthcare professional when appropriate.
