Around 180,000 cans of coconut water have been recalled in 11 states, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Tipp Distributors, Inc. (doing business as Novamex) initially recalled the items on Feb. 25 for a labeling error. The individual cans are labeled correctly, but the outer packaging has incorrect nutrition facts and ingredient lists—which do not include the 5 grams of added sugar in the coconut water. On March 6, the FDA gave the recall the lowest risk level, Class III.

What You Should Do
The FDA did not provide specific instructions for this recall, but the safest option is to toss or return the products. With the incorrect labels and missing added sugar, the recall poses a particular risk for people tracking their sugar intake, such as those with diabetes.
