Coca-Cola Recalls Products Across Europe Over Excessive Chlorate Levels

The recall involves several beverage brands produced at a Belgian facility, with limited impact reported in France.

Coca-Cola has issued a large-scale recall of products in Europe due to excessive chlorate levels, a chemical byproduct of water disinfection processes.
The recall affects multiple brands, including Coca-Cola, Sprite, Fanta, Fuze Tea, Minute Maid, Nalu, Royal Bliss, and Tropico, in countries such as Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Luxembourg, and the United Kingdom.
In France, only two specific product batches—Fuze Tea Pêche (335 GE2) and Coca-Cola Sans Sucres 1L in glass bottles (337 GE1)—have been identified as impacted.
The company has emphasized that the health risk is considered very low, with independent experts and regulatory authorities confirming minimal likelihood of immediate harm to consumers.
Consumers are advised to return affected products to the point of purchase for a refund, while the company continues to remove remaining items from the market.
