Coca-Cola Recalls Over 10,000 Cans Due to Plastic Contamination
Hey everyone, if you're a fan of Coca-Cola, you might want to check your fridge because there’s a major recall happening right now. More than 10,000 cans of Coca-Cola have been pulled from the shelves due to potential plastic contamination. That’s right—plastic! And the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has now classified this as a Class II recall. What does that mean? Well, a Class II recall is issued when a product could cause temporary or medically reversible health effects. The chances of severe health consequences are low, but they’re not zero.
So, what’s going on? Coca-Cola, or more specifically Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling, LLC, voluntarily recalled 864 cases of Coca-Cola Classic in 12-ounce cans. These affected cases were distributed in two states: Illinois and Wisconsin. According to a spokesperson from the company, the recall was initiated because the products didn’t meet their high-quality standards. That’s a bit concerning, especially since the problem involves a foreign object—plastic. While no injuries or illnesses have been reported so far, it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
Now, if you’ve recently purchased a 12-pack of Coca-Cola, here’s what you need to look for. Check your cans and packaging for the following details:
-
Can UPC: 0 49000-00634 6
Also Read: -
Pack UPC: 0 49000-02890 4
-
Date Code: SEP2925MDA
-
Timestamp: 1100-1253
-
Label: “Canned Under Authority of the Coca-Cola Company, Atlanta, GA 30313”
If you have one of these packs, what should you do? The FDA hasn’t specified exact steps for customers, but the best course of action would be to return them to the store for a full refund. If you’ve already consumed a can, don’t panic—there haven’t been any confirmed health risks, but keep an eye out for any unusual symptoms and consult a doctor if needed.
This recall comes amid a wave of food and beverage recalls in 2025, from beef sticks to coffee creamers. It’s always a good idea to stay updated on product recalls to ensure your safety and the safety of your loved ones. So, spread the word, check your Coca-Cola cans, and stay safe!
