A range of Coca-Cola products have been recalled in the UK after the firm’s bottling partner said it had identified “elevated levels” of a chemical called chlorate.
Cans of Coca-Cola Original Taste, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Diet Coke, and Sprite Zero sent to cafes and restaurants are being withdrawn as well as 6x250ml Appletiser multipacks sent to UK supermarkets. The announcement follows a larger recall of Coca-Cola products across Europe on Monday. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, the firm’s bottling partner, said the risk of illness was “very low”.
