WARNING: Louisiana Residents Warned About Harmful Chemicals Found in 28 Recalled Drinks

LAFAYETTE, La. (KPEL News) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning residents of several states, including Louisiana, that several of the most popular sodas out there are under recall for harmful chemicals.

The majority of the drinks appear to be Pepsico brand drinks, including some of the brand's root beer and ginger ale products.

It's been a summer of a lot of recalls, with plenty of products out there going under recall because of problems during the manufacturing process. In the case of these drinks, late last spring and over the summer, health officials were warning that some 28 drinks were discovered to contain harmful chemicals at higher than normal levels.

One of those drinks is a Himalayan pain relief tea, which was recalled because it didn’t disclose an anti-inflammatory medication ingredient on its label.

Martinelli’s Apple Juice contains noticeable levels of arsenic, a toxic metal that "may increase the risk of bladder and skin cancer."

But that's not all.

"Around 1.9 million bottles of Fiji Water, made by Natural Waters of Viti Limited, were recalled after three types of bacteria were found in the water in addition to the mineral manganese, which in high amounts can cause brain damage," the New York Post reported in June.

What else is being recalled? Lemonades, and cola flavoring products.

And just recently, four drinks produced by Charles Boggini Company called Pink Lemonade, Yellow Lemonade and Yellow Lemonade X, as well as the flavoring Cola Flavoring Base were recalled over food dyes linked to cancer risk.

Those dyes, which were not disclosed by the company as an ingredient, include Red40 and Yellow 5.

The dyes have benzidine, which is carcinogenic to humans and animals.

Schweppes Zero Sugar Ginger Ale and PepsiCo's Mug Root Beer are also on the list, adding some of the biggest names in drink brands to the steadily-growing list of recalled drinks.
