PepsiCo initiated a recall of 122,021 cases of Gatorade on Sept. 25, according to an FDA notice cited by NBC News. The recall covers 28-ounce bottles of Gatorade Lemon Lime, Gatorade Lemon Lime Zero, Gatorade Orange and Gatorade Orange Zero, distributed in 37 states.

The FDA notice lists undeclared Yellow No. 6 and/or Yellow No. 5 as the reason for the recall. The Guardian reported that the dyes may be a concern for people who are sensitive to them. The FDA classifies the recall as Class II, meaning exposure may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences, while the probability of serious consequences is remote.
