Coca-Cola products recall

Nestlé is not the only food and drink giant to recall products this month.

Earlier in February, Coca-Cola also issued a recall because some drinks may contain elevated levels of Chlorate.

These are the drinks being recalled by Coca-Cola.

  • Coca-Cola 330ml tall can with a best before date of November 30 and a batch code of 0008912462
  • Diet Coke 330ml tall can with a best before date of May 31 and a batch code of 0008913820
  • Coca Cola Zero 330ml tall can with a  best before date of May 31 and a batch code of 0008913954
  • Sprite Zero 330ml tall can with a best before date of June 30 and a batch code of 0008913247
  • Appletiser 6x250ml multipack with best before dates of November 30 and December 31 and batch codes of 0008905850 and 0008908477.

Only production codes from 328 GE to 338 GE are included in the product recall.

The recall does not affect standard dimension cans, glass or plastic bottles sold in the UK, but tall cans.

A spokesman for Coca-Cola Europacific Partners added: “Following ongoing dialogue with the UK Food Standards Agency, we are recalling a small number of imported cans of 6x250ml Appletiser multipacks which were sent only to supermarkets in the UK.

“We are also removing a small amount of tall, imported cans of Coca-Cola Original Taste, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Diet Coke and Sprite Zero, which were sent only to cafes and restaurants during a limited time period.

“All affected cans have the production codes from 328 GE to 338 GE, which can be found on the base of the can. The majority of Coca-Cola products, including standard cans, and all glass and plastic bottles sold in the UK are not impacted.

“Whilst independent analysis concluded that the likelihood of any associated risk of feeling temporarily unwell from consuming these products is very low, for the reassurance of consumers, we encourage anyone with an affected can to please call our customer service team on 0800 227711 who will be able to help.

“No other Coca-Cola products are affected by the issue.

“The quality and safety of our products is our top priority and we’re sorry that on this occasion, a small number of our products have not met our high standards, and we apologise for any inconvenience this has caused.”
