Before grabbing your next can of soda, check your fridge — Coca-Cola has issued a voluntary recall involving hundreds of soda packs due to contamination concerns.
Reason Behind the Recall
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) announced that select 12-packs of Coca-Cola Original Taste were pulled from shelves due to the possible presence of plastic material inside the cans. This issue has been classified as a Class II recall, meaning there is a low but potential risk for short-term or medically reversible health effects.
Which States Are Affected?
A total of 864 cases were distributed in Illinois and Wisconsin by Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling, LLC based in Milwaukee. No other states are involved at this time. Customers are advised to check product codes via the FDA’s official website.
Company’s Response and What You Should Do
Reyes Coca-Cola stated the recall is a precautionary measure due to a failure to meet quality standards. Customers are urged not to consume the affected cans and instead return them to the store for a full refund.
Other Recent Food Recalls
This isn’t the only recent recall involving contaminants. Stouffer’s and Lean Cuisine meals were also pulled from shelves due to suspected wood-like particles. These cases highlight the importance of staying informed about product safety.
