Wawa is recalling four of its branded bottled drinks from convenience stores in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and Delaware. The April 3 announcement comes over a labelling mishap.

The chain initiated a recall after discovering some products may contain an undeclared milk allergen.

Wawa said it has since pulled and disposed of the following 16-ounce beverages made by the Wawa Beverage Co. at affected stores:

Wawa Iced Tea Lemon

Code date: May 15, 2026
UPC: 726191018425
Sold at 123 stores

Wawa Iced Tea Diet Lemon

Code date: May 18, 2026
UPC: 726191018548
Sold at eight stores

Wawa Diet Lemonade

Code date: May 18, 2026
UPC: 726191055901
Sold at 12 stores

Wawa Fruit Punch

Code date: May 19, 2026
UPC: 726191018432
Sold at 54 stores

Wawa said the milk allergen may have been caused by “a temporary equipment issue.” It has since identified and repaired the problem, according to the company.

The chain said the recall does not extend to any other states or other Wawa branded products.

“No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem. Wawa’s primary concern is always for the health and safety of our customers and associates,” the company said.

Wawa advises customers who purchased the items to dispose of them immediately. They can also contact the company by calling 1-800-444-9292 or emailing to request a refund in the form of a Wawa gift card.

This marks the third recall of Wawa-branded drinks since last fall.

In October 2025, Wawa voluntarily recalled some 16-ounce refrigerated milk and lemonade drinks from stores over concerns about a potential foreign object. The company did not elaborate on what the item was, but said its Media, Pa., beverage facility made the affected products. The chain also recalled four types of milk from its stores in February after discovering some bottles may contain “soft plastic pieces.”
