Overview
- Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages initiated the voluntary recall on Oct. 3, and the FDA posted a Class II classification on Oct. 20.
- The recall covers specific 12‑oz can multipacks identified by UPC and lot codes, limited to distributions in the McAllen/Rio Grande Valley and San Antonio areas of Texas.
- The bottler reports 2,322 units of Coca-Cola, 1,115 units of Coke Zero Sugar and 791 units of Sprite were affected, with products pulled from shelves by Oct. 10.
- Consumers are advised not to drink the affected cans and to return them for a refund or dispose of them; no other Coca-Cola products are listed in this action.
- Reports differ on the scale of the recall, with some outlets citing a far higher can count based on enforcement data, while the bottler lists just over 4,000 units and no cause has been disclosed.
