Official wording

Reason: 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.

Code information: Production Code: ttttPS031481 where 'tttt' stands for the 4-digit time code starting with time code 0647 and ending approximately 0730. The first package code would then be 0647PS031481 and a best taste date code on all packages of JUN 18 18. UPC on incorrect/old RSW secondary package - 012000100413 Best taste date code on all packages of JUN 18 18.

Distribution pattern: Nationwide; DE, MD, VA, NC
