Brief Answer:
Yes it can cause red color stools.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The Fuze berry punch can cause a red coloration of the stool.
This red coloration is temporary and the stool returns to its normal color after you stop taking the drink in 2-4 days.
In case the red color of stool is persistent then you can consult your physician for stool test and other investigations to find out the cause.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
