Coca-Cola Europacific Partners has issued a major recall of Coke, Sprite, and other beverages in several European countries after detecting elevated levels of chlorate, a substance that can pose health risks. The recall affects cans and glass bottles distributed since November and spans Belgium, the Netherlands, Britain, Germany, France, and Luxembourg. The company is working to remove all affected products from the market.
The European bottling unit of Coca-Cola said Monday that it had ordered a major recall of Coke, Sprite and other beverages after detecting high levels of chlorate, which poses potential health risks .
“We do not have a precise figure, but it is clear that it is a considerable quantity,“ the firm said of the amount of drinks involved. In a 2015 scientific opinion, the European Food Safety Authority said long-term exposure to chlorate posed a potential health concern for children, especially those with mild or moderate iodine deficiency.
But the company’s French branch said analysis by independent experts “concluded that the probability of an associated risk“ was “very low”.Affected batches of Coke and Fuze Tea were delivered in France but for the moment the recall order did not apply to the French market, it added.
