Diet Pepsi; NOW ASPARTAME FREE; 6 PACK; 16 OZ BOTTLES; 6-16 FLOZ BOTTLES (96 FL OZ)

Recalling firm: Pepsi Cola Bottling Company

Why it was recalled

Case labeling (shrink-wrap labeling) for Diet Pepsi 6 packs (6-16oz bottles) may indicate that the product is "Now Aspartame Free" when the product actually contains aspartame. The individual 16 oz. bottles have aspartame declared in the ingredient statements. The outer wrapping has the incorrect/misdeclared "Now Aspartame Free" declaration.
