The formula changed.
V8 Splash Berry Blend previously listed Red 40 on the same UPC 051000248565 (upcitemdb last scanned Sep 23, 2024; cooklist/Saltie-USDA retained the 70-cal Red 40 formula on that UPC). Current LabelINSIGHT capture on the same UPC 051000248565 (May 5, 2026) lists purple carrot juice concentrate for color with no Red 40 or Blue 1. Corroborating LabelINSIGHT capture on UPC 051000127112 (Mar 24, 2026) also shows purple carrot juice concentrate for color. Campbell's Aug 2026 national FD&C-removal context; this retail SKU clears same-UPC prior+after. Foodservice PDF listings may lag.
