Overview

• 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.
