Aldi's New Line of Zero Sugar Mocktail-Inspired Sparkling Waters Have Shoppers Stocking Their Carts Fast
Sparkling water brands and varieties are popping up all over the supermarket. And the flavor combinations become a bit more unique with each drop. Mocktails are also having a moment, and all of the classic versions that come along with them. Aldi's latest beverage drop combines the love of mocktails and sparkling water with their Zero Sugar Mocktail Sparkling Water, and it comes in three varieties: Pina Colada, Strawberry Margarita and 8-pack of 12-ounce cans will sell for $3.55. The ingredients list is made up of solely carbonated water and natural flavors and they're non-alcoholic, zero sugar and zero calories. We're guessing these have been pretty popular, as this isn't the first time Aldi is releasing Mocktail Sparkling Water. A Reddit post from June discusses the Mojito variety, and the poster stated they were 'pleasantly surprised how good it tasted. 0 calories, 0 sugar, all natural flavoring, and about $0.45 per 12 ounce can. Hopefully, my Aldi will continue to stock it because I want to try the Piña colada next week'. And 'It's yum', a commenter replied. Featured Story: One person noted, 'It's not sweet, it's similar to La Croix! I really like them, especially the strawberry margarita'. And another fan exclaimed, 'I personally loved the 'Mojito' flavor and thought it was nice and refreshing! But I also drink a lot of sparkling water which is pretty much all it is, lol'. While many Reddit users were smitten with the cocktail and sparkling water mash-up, others didn't care for it. If you're a fan of sparkling water and the flavors of these classic cocktails, this variety might be worth a try. Like most Aldi Finds, they'll only be available for a limited-time and drop between August 13 and 19.

Trump says Coke will use cane sugar, despite popular sugar-free drinks
Consumers are increasingly searching for Coca-Cola without any sugar at all, despite a confirmation from US President Donald Trump that the company agreed to use cane sugar in its drinks. 'I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so,' Trump wrote on his social media site earlier this week. "This will be a very good move by them - you'll see. It's just better!" Coca-Cola didn't confirm the change but said it appreciated Trump's enthusiasm and would share details on new offerings soon. Duane Stanford, the editor and publisher of Beverage Digest, said growth is "significant" for Coca-Cola from the sale of its Zero Sugar product, a drink using artificial sweeteners aspartame and stevia. Global cases of zero sugar were up 14 per cent in the first quarter of 2025, compared to the company's total case volumes, which only went up 2 per cent. In the soft drink market, Stanford said Coke Zero Sugar was the seventh biggest seller by volume in the US last year, with a 4 per cent market share, compared to Coke's overall brand, which had 19 per cent market share. Competitor PepsiCo also told the Associated Press that 60 per cent of its sales volumes in major markets in the second quarter came from low- or no-sugar drinks. Shift away from corn syrup could bring 'logistics headaches' Stanford said he doubts Coca-Cola will fully shift away from high fructose corn syrup, which has sweetened other Coke products in the US since the 1980s. There would be tremendous supply chain and logistics headaches, he said, and the U.S. doesn't make enough sugar for Coke's needs. He expects the Atlanta-based company will offer a cane sugar-sweetened version in the US like Pepsi-Co has been doing since 2009. The corn industry wasn't happy with the speculation that Coca-Cola could move towards cane sugar. In a statement Wednesday, Corn Refiners Association President and CEO John Bode said replacing high fructose corn syrup with cane sugar makes no sense and would cost thousands of American manufacturing jobs.

Dr. Pepper zero recall upgraded in Georgia, South Carolina
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — Dr. Pepper is recalling over 19,000 cases of their Zero Sugar soda in three Southern states. The recalled sodas, which are labeled as having zero sugar, actually contained the full sugar product. Because the cans were mislabeled as having zero sugar, they could cause a health risk for diabetics or others who need to limit their sugar intake or avoid it altogether. The voluntary recall was initiated for Zero Sugar Dr. Peppers with a best by date of Feb. 16, 2026, in Georgia, Florida and South Carolina. The sodas were sold in 12-pack and 24-pack cases of 12-ounce cans. The affected product code is XXXXRS05165. The FDA upgraded the recall to Class II last week due to the health risks associated. If you purchased Dr Pepper drinks matching these descriptions, you can return them to the place you purchased them for a full refund or safely dispose of them. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Dr Pepper Recall Issued After Sugar Mix Up in Thousands of Cans
A recall has been issued for thousands of cases of Dr Pepper Zero Sugar that were mislabeled and contained the full-sugar product, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The products were distributed to retailers in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. Newsweek contacted Keurig Dr Pepper, which owns the product in the United States, and PepsiCo, which bottled the beverages, for comment via email outside of regular working hours. Why It Matters This mislabeling poses potential health risks to consumers, particularly for individuals managing conditions like diabetes or those monitoring their sugar intake The FDA has issued a Class II risk classification for the recall, indicating that the consumption of the mislabeled products may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. What To Know The FDA said the company-initiated recall affects 19,203 cases of Dr Pepper Zero Sugar 12-fluid ounce cans, sold in 12-pack and 24-pack cartons. The affected cans were produced at a Pepsi bottling facility in Jacksonville, Florida, which is licensed to manufacture Keurig Dr Pepper products, according to the FDA. The affected products have the product code XXXXRS05165, and a best-by date of February 16, 2026. The recall was initiated on May 23, 2025, and the FDA classified it as a Class II recall on June 5, 2025. A can of regular Dr Pepper contains 39 grams of sugar, while the Zero Sugar version has zero grams, but contains the artificial sweeteners aspartame and acesulfame potassium. There were 241 FDA food and beverage recalls in 2024, which was an increase of eight percent from the previous year, according to a report published by the nonprofit Public Interest Research Group. Undeclared allergens or ingredients was the single biggest cause for recalls that year. Last year, Dr Pepper tied with Pepsi to become the second most popular soda in the U.S. after Coca Cola, according to data from Beverage Digest. What Happens Next The FDA and Dr Pepper are working to ensure that all affected products are removed from store shelves promptly. Consumers in the affected states should remain vigilant and check their purchases to ensure they have not bought the mislabeled product.

FDA Announces Recall on More Than 19,000 Cases of Dr Pepper for Mislabeling
According to a notice posted by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), more than 19,200 12- and 24-pack cases of Dr Pepper Zero Sugar have been recalled. The recall was initiated after the soda, which is labeled as 'zero sugar,' was found to contain full sugar. The recalled cases of Dr Pepper Zero Sugar were produced by Jacksonville, Florida-based Pepsi Beverages Company, which is licensed to manufacture Keurig Dr Pepper-owned products including Dr Pepper. The soda was distributed to retailers in three states: Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. To identify if you have the recalled Dr Pepper, you should check for the following information: 12- or 24-pack carton cases of 12-fluid ounce aluminum cans of Dr Pepper, Zero Sugar Prod Code: XXXXRS05165 "Best By" Date: Feb. 16, 2026 The recall was initiated on May 23, 2025, with the FDA classifying it as a Class II recall—meaning drinking the product could cause 'temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences'—on June 5, 2025. Because Pepsi Beverages Company initiated the recall at the end of May, it is likely that the products have been pulled from retailer shelves by now; however, you should check to code number just to be sure. No other Dr Pepper Zero Sugar cases or Dr Pepper products are impacted by this recall. If you have the recalled Dr Pepper Zero Sugar and are someone who is monitoring and controlling their sugar intake for medical reasons, it may not be safe to consume the soda. If that's the case, you should throw it away or return it to the original place of purchase for a full refund or replacement. If you are not monitoring your sugar intake, you do not need to do anything regarding this recall. The product was recalled for mislabeling, not because it is inherently harmful to consume. The full-sugar soda just may have a different flavor than anticipated. However, if you do wish to receive the zero-sugar Dr Pepper that you intended to purchase, you can return it to the original place of purchase for a replacement or full refund.
