AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoFood Safety Recall: PepsiCo is recalling about 122,000 cases of 28-ounce Gatorade sold in 37 states, including North Dakota, after the FDA flagged undeclared Yellow No. 5 and/or Yellow No. 6 in four flavors (Lemon Lime, Lemon Lime Zero, Orange, Orange Zero).
