Coca-Cola issues soda recall due to “foreign material” 00:27

Coca-Cola is recalling 2,000 cases of Diet Coke, Sprite and Fanta Orange soda cans because they may contain “foreign substances.”

The recall includes 12 packs of 12-ounce cans, including 1,557 packs of Sprite, 417 packs of Diet Coke and 14 packs of Fanta Orange. The cases were distributed in Alabama, Mississippi and Florida, according to an FDA filing.

It remains unclear what the potential “foreign material” might be and what risks, if any, it poses to consumers. The FDA did not immediately respond to CBS MoneyWatch's request for comment.

The recall includes:

  • The 12-packs of Diet Coke are marked with lot numbers JAN2924MBD3 and UPC 49000028911 and have a best-before date of January 29, 2024.
  • Fanta Orange 12 packs with lot numbers UL2924MBD3 and UPC 49000030730.
  • Sprite 12-packs with lot numbers JUL2924MBD3 and UPC 49000028928.

Recalled: Fanta and Sprite both have a best before date of July 29, 2024.
