Gatorade Products Recalled Nationwide Over Undeclared Allergens

Birmingham, AL, October 5, 2026 — A nationwide recall has been initiated for more than 122,000 cases of popular Gatorade beverages due to the presence of undeclared Yellow No. 5 and/or Yellow No. 6 food dyes. The recall affects specific flavors and sizes of the sports drink.

The affected products include Gatorade Lemon Lime, Gatorade Lemon Lime Zero Sugar, Gatorade Orange, and Gatorade Orange Zero Sugar, all packaged in 28-ounce bottles.

Consumers who have purchased the affected Gatorade products are advised to check their packaging.
