Nearly 2000 Coca-Cola Products Pulled Off Shelves After Risk is Detected

Nearly 2000 Coca-Cola Products Pulled Off Shelves After ‘Potential Foreign Material’ Risk

The Alabama-based United Packers LLC and the Coca-Cola company voluntarily recalled 1,557 cases of several 12-ounce products.

The recall was out of an abundance of caution following reports of “potential foreign material” contaminating 12-ounce Diet Coke, Fanta Orange and Sprite products.

The recall was issued on Nov. 6 but was not widely announced to consumers.

According to the FDA, Diet Coke cans accounted for less than 25% of the recalled products.

The recalled cases were shipped from Alabama to distribution sites in Florida, Mississippi and Alabama.

“Coca-Cola Bottling UNITED voluntarily recalled a limited quantity of Fanta Orange, Sprite, and Diet Coke in a total of 48 stores in the following markets: Valparaiso, FL; Robertsdale and Mobile, AL; Gulfport and Ocean Springs, MS,” a Coca-Cola spokesperson told FOX Business on Thursday. “No impacted product remains in the market, and all recall activities in those markets are complete.”

Fox reported that in addition to Coca-Cola products including Sprite, Fresca and Fanta Orange, the company produces Topo Chico, Powerade, Desani and Minute Maid.
