COCA-COLA RECALLS BEVERAGES IN EUROPE

Wed 29 January 2025:

Global beverage giant Coca-Cola has recalled multiple products sold in some European countries where high levels of chlorate were detected.

The Belgian Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain (FASFC) said the recall involves products manufactured between Nov. 23 and Dec. 3, 2024.

The list of recalled drinks includes Coca-Cola, Fanta, Sprite, Fuze Tea, Nalu, Minute Maid, Tropico and Royal Bliss in both cans and glass bottles with production codes ranging between 328 GE to 338 GE.

Consumers were warned not to consume these products and return them to the points of sale.

The recalled products were produced at Coca-Cola’s plant in Ghent, Belgium.

In addition to Belgium, the products were also shipped to the Netherlands, the UK, Germany, France and Luxembourg.

Chlorate is produced when chlorine-based disinfectants are used in water treatment and food processing.

The Coca-Cola conspiracy theories typically revolve around health concerns, secret ingredients, and business practices. One of the most popular claims is that Coca-Cola’s original formula contained cocaine, which was removed in the early 20th century but led to accusations that the drink was once an addictive stimulant. Another conspiracy suggests that Coca-Cola’s “secret recipe” remains hidden to maintain its market dominance and mystique.

Health-related concerns fuel further speculation. Some critics argue that Coca-Cola suppresses studies highlighting the harmful effects of sugar and artificial sweeteners to protect its profits. Accusations also persist about the company’s lobbying efforts to influence public health guidelines.

On a global level, Coca-Cola has faced allegations of unethical practices, including environmental degradation and the mistreatment of workers in some regions. These controversies have fueled debates about the true social and environmental impact of the world-famous brand. Despite the conspiracies and controversies, Coca-Cola remains one of the most popular and powerful beverage companies in the world.
