There’s nothing quite as refreshing as an ice-cold Coca-Cola on a warm day, but you might want to check your pantry before cracking one open. Coca-Cola recalled 10,368 cans of its flagship soft drink due to the possibility of contamination.
What caused the recall?
According to the FDA, 864 12-can packs of Coca-Cola Original Taste were recalled due to the possibility of contamination by a foreign object. Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, received multiple reports that pieces of plastic were found inside some cans.
The FDA first announced the recall on March 6, and it was classified as a Class II recall on March 24. That means that “use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote,” per the FDA.
What stores sold the recalled Coke?
The 864 12-pack cases (10,368 cans) were manufactured by Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling and distributed to stores in Illinois and Wisconsin. Specific retailers have not been identified, so if you live in one of these two states you’ll have to double-check any cases of Original Coke that you currently own, regardless of where you purchased them.
How do I know if I have recalled Coke?
This recall is for 12-pack cases of the Original flavor of Coca-Cola, but individual cans may have been separated from their original packs and sold separately, so you’ll need to check the can UPC and case UPC.
