The Food & Drug Administration has reported that Coca-Cola has initiated a voluntary recall of over 10,000 cans of its well-known beverage due to potential plastic contamination.

The recall process started on March 6, following a notification from Milwaukee-based Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling, LLC, which alerted the authorities about the possibility of plastic particles being present in some cans of “Coca-Cola Original.”

The FDA officially classified the incident as a “Class II” recall on Monday.

This classification indicates that the affected products could potentially cause temporary or reversible health issues if consumed.

In total, 864 packs, each containing 12 cans, are subject to this recall.

The cans in question were specifically distributed to retailers located in Illinois and Wisconsin.

No other Coca-Cola products or varieties are included in this recall, according to current FDA reports.

Consumers concerned about whether they possess the impacted cans should carefully check product labeling for key identifying details.

Affected cans are marked with a unique set of product codes and manufacturing information.

The individual 12-ounce Coca-Cola cans carry the UPC code 0 49000-00634 6.

The 12-pack carton has a separate UPC code: 0 49000-02890 4.

Additionally, the cans display a date code of “SEP2925MDA” and a time stamp ranging from “1100-1253.”

The packaging also states, “Canned Under Authority of the Coca-Cola Company, Atlanta, GA 30313.”

Despite the recall having been in effect for several weeks, consumers are still advised to check their products — even though the majority of the impacted items have likely been cleared from store shelves.

The FDA strongly advises anyone who has purchased cans matching the recall details to refrain from consuming them.

Instead, these cans should be discarded immediately or returned to the original retailer, where customers can receive either a full refund or replacement product.

The FDA emphasizes that at this time, no confirmed cases of injury or illness associated with the contaminated products have been publicly reported.

Coca-Cola has not released further details about how the plastic contamination occurred or precisely when the issue was first discovered.

Consumers with additional concerns or inquiries about the recall are encouraged to contact their retailer directly or visit the FDA’s official recall website for ongoing updates.
