Coca-Cola issues recall of drinks in Europe over safety concerns

An investigation in the UK has been launched after Coca-Cola recalled drinks in some European countries due to “elevated levels” of chlorate. The recall includes Coke, Sprite, Diet Coke, and Appletiser with specific production codes in Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners stated that the affected products have been withdrawn from sale in the mentioned countries, with expert analysis indicating a low risk of feeling unwell from consuming them.
