Recall of 3 Coca-Cola Drinks Assigned Risk Level by FDA over Concerns of Contamination

Over 4,000 cans of Coca-Cola Original Taste, Zero Sugar, and Sprite recalled in Texas due to potential metal fragments, posing a Class II health risk, the FDA said.

  • The FDA announced on Oct. 20 a recall of select Coca‑Cola, Coca‑Cola Zero Sugar, and Sprite cans produced by Coca‑Cola Southwest Beverages, LLC.
  • Coca‑Cola Southwest Beverages initiated the recall on Oct. 3 after voluntarily removing three sodas due to possible foreign material, possibly metal.
  • Affected packs can be identified by specific codes such as 49000042559 and 49000058499 for Coca‑Cola Zero Sugar 12‑ and 35‑packs, plus Sprite and Coca‑Cola codes like 49000028928 and 49000012781.
  • Consumers are advised not to drink the affected products and to return them to retailers or discard them, and a Coca‑Cola spokesperson said all items were removed from shelves by October 10 with no injuries reported.
  • The FDA classified the recall as Class II, some cans may contain small metal fragments, and Coca-Cola described the issue as `small` and `localized`, with the recall limited to Texas as of Oct. 22.
