Coca-Cola cans recalled over contamination risk
More than 10,000 cans of Coca-Cola have been recalled over fears of plastic contamination. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported that 864 cases of 12-ounce Coca-Cola Original Taste cans were affected by the issue.
Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling, the distributor, voluntarily pulled the products from shelves on March 6. The FDA later classified the recall as Class II, which indicates that consuming the product could lead to temporary or reversible health issues.
Ingesting hard or sharp objects in food or drink can cause injuries such as cuts or punctures in the mouth, throat, or digestive system, as well as potential dental damage, according to the FDA.
The recalled cans were only distributed in Illinois and Wisconsin by the Milwaukee-based bottler. A company representative told Newsweek that the recall was initiated as a precautionary measure due to quality concerns. “We take pride in offering safe, high-quality products, and we decided to remove these cases from circulation to maintain those standards,” the spokesperson said.
There have been no confirmed reports of illness or injury linked to the contaminated cans.
Consumers can identify the recalled products by the date code SEP2925MDA and time stamps between 11:00 and 12:53. The UPCs are 0 49000-00634 6 for individual cans and 0 49000-02890 4 for 12-packs.
Customers who have purchased the affected cans are advised not to drink them. They can either dispose of the product or return it to the store for a refund.
