Whoa, Coca-Cola Recall! What Gives?
Okay, Coca-Cola fans in Illinois and Wisconsin, listen up! There's been a bit of a scare. The FDA issued a Class II recall for a bunch of Coke cans earlier this month – over 10,000 of them, actually. Turns out, there might be plastic bits in some of them. It's a little unsettling, right? Let's break it down.
What Happened?
So, on March 24th, the FDA announced this Class II recall. That means exposure might cause some temporary problems, nothing too serious, thankfully. But, you know, plastic in your soda? Not ideal. This recall covers 864 twelve-packs of Coca-Cola Classic, all made by Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling in Milwaukee. That's a whole lot of Coke! The company itself actually started the recall on March 6th after they found the plastic. They're saying it was a proactive move, which I guess is good.
Why the Plastic?
The big question, right? Why is there plastic in the Coke? Reyes Coca-Cola hasn't given us all the details, but they’ve stressed how committed they are to quality. A spokesperson even said something along the lines of, "Nothing is more important to us than providing high-quality products." They're clearly trying to reassure everyone, and that's understandable.
How to Spot the Problem Cans
If you've got some Coca-Cola chilling in the fridge, here's how to check if it's one of the recalled cans:
- Product: Coca-Cola Original Taste, 12 Fl Oz. (355mL)
- Can UPC: 0 49000-00634 6
- 12-pack UPC: 0 49000-02890 4
- Date Code: SEP2925MDA
- Time Stamp: 1100-1253
- Recall Number: F-0664-2025
Look for all those details on the can and the packaging. It’s a bit of detective work, but better safe than sorry, right?
What to Do If You Have Recalled Coke
If you've got matching cans, the FDA says to take them back to the store where you bought them for a refund or replacement. No one's reported getting sick yet, but it's definitely worth returning them. You know, better to avoid the risk altogether.
