It’s a protection racket now. Apparently Gatorade didn’t make their payment on time.

You mean drinking the Bleenurple Gatorade flavor might be dangerous?
But I’m thirsty!

Not really unless you have a particular sensitivity to the specific food colorings used. Compared to recent recalls this is pretty minor as it’s essentially just a mistake on the label rather than any kind of contaminate. I.E. had the labels correctly included the yellow food coloring used this would be perfectly fine to sell and there would be no recall.

Another recall, but at least this one is only because they forgot to tell us it’s yellow.

I assume the recipe doesn’t change much. How often do they need to declare the ingredients? I don’t understand how this happened in the first place.

Technically, every time the recipe changes, it would need to be inspected and double checked by the FDA (at least that’s how it works in the EU).

Uh… every time? Each and every packaged item on the shelf is supposed to have an accurate list of its ingredients.

lol I overthought the issue. I thought they had to “declare” the ingredients to some agency or something. Your answer makes too much sense, so I looked right past it. Well, thanks!

Probably switched the type of dye. Idk Leatherface at the DHS has been screaming about dyes so maybe he fucked it up again.

I hadn’t drank Gatorade in probably two decades, and last week I saw a sale, shrugged, and said, “Sure, I’ll try that again.” Shit timing on my part, I guess.

Looks like you only need to worry about it if you need to know which artificial yellow food dye is in it. Looks like they swapped dyes but failed to update the ingredient list on several batches. I’m not dismissing this as harmless though, people with a Yellow number 5 allergy could have been seriously harmed.

bear lot dates between April 2027, May 2027 and June 2027
What exactly is a “lot date” here and why are they 6-8 months in the future?
- 5 days
That’s how far ahead of time that stuff is bottled. It’s not like it goes bad in a couple of weeks, it’s water + chemicals.
The date is usually printed somewhere in the bottle.
