    Over 13,000 12-packs of Coca-Cola's Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade were recalled after they were mislabeled, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

    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.

    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 that was 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.

    30x the calories in the mislabeled lemonade

    The nutritional facts of the two drinks are very different.

    In comparison, Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade contains five calories, 2g of carbs and 0g of sugar in 1 can, according to the nutritional facts listed on InstaCart .

    The regular Minute Maid Lemonade contains 150 calories, 42g of carbs and 40g of sugar.

    How to identify the recalled Minute Maid cans
