Abbott calls Pedialyte medical-grade hydration and labels its classic products for use under medical supervision. We found no NSF, Informed Choice or Informed Sport listing for Pedialyte products. A 2022 Class III FDA recall (now terminated) covered one lot of 0.6 oz Strawberry Lemonade powder packets made with undeclared wheat-derived dextrose.
