    Minute Maid Zero Sugar lemonade cans sold in Indiana might actually have quite a bit of sugar

    A batch of 12-pack cans of Coca-Cola 's Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade actually has quite a bit of sugar, according to a recent recall.

    Thousands were mislabeled, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said, including some sent to Indiana. Around 13,153 cases, each with 12 cans of lemonade packaged inside , were labeled as the zero sugar formula but contained regular Minute Maid Lemonade with the full sugar content.

    How much sugar is in Minute Maid Lemonade?

    Reports online vary as to how much sugar is in a can of regular Minute Maid lemonade, but a photo of the nutrition label in a listing for the product on Walmart's website shows 27 grams of sugar, all of which are added sugar. That's 54% percent of the recommended daily intake. And that's in one serving — a serving is half a can.

    Which Minute Maid products were recalled?

    Consumers can find "FEB1725CNA" and "FEB1725CNB" printed on the carton of the recalled product and the bottom of the cans.

    The phrase "CANNED UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY, ATLANTA, GA” is also printed on the right side of the nutrition facts on the box and can.

    In September, Coca-Cola issued a voluntary recall for the mislabeled product, which was shipped to retail stores in Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio, the company said in a statement emailed to USA TODAY. A press release was not issued for the recall, according to the FDA's enforcement report.

    "No impacted product remains in the market," Coca-Cola said. "All recall activities in those markets are complete."

    USA TODAY contacted the FDA regarding the recall but has not heard back yet.
