Coca-Cola recalls drinks in Europe over elevated chlorate levels, citing potential health risks. Authorities are investigating, and the company assures consumer safety.
Coca-Cola has issued a recall of several beverage brands across multiple European countries due to elevated levels of chlorate. The affected products were distributed from November in Belgium, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.
The recall includes Coca-Cola, Fanta, Minute Maid, Sprite, and Tropico. Chlorate, used in water treatment, can pose health risks, particularly for infants and children with iodine deficiencies, as it may impact thyroid function.
Although the risk to consumers is minimal, Coca-Cola is working with authorities and has begun withdrawing the affected products. In the United Kingdom, no complaints have been reported, but the Food Standards Agency is investigating.
The contamination was found during routine tests at Coca-Cola’s plant in Ghent, Belgium. The company has emphasised its commitment to product quality and consumer safety.
