Coca-Cola has initiated a recall of over 10,000 cans of its Original Coca-Cola product due to potential plastic contamination. Here's what you need to know about this product recall, including what to do if you have purchased an affected can.
The recall was initiated by Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling, LLC, on March 6th, and the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) officially classified it as a 'Class II' recall on March 24th. In total, 864 cases of 12-packs—amounting to 10,368 cans—have been affected.
This recall specifically applies to 12-ounce Coca-Cola Original cans produced at Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling's Milwaukee, Wisconsin facility. The impacted products were distributed exclusively in Illinois and Wisconsin.
According to the FDA, a Class II recall is issued when exposure to the affected product may result in temporary or medically reversible health effects, with the likelihood of serious adverse health consequences considered low.
If you suspect you have purchased an affected Coca-Cola product, check the packaging for the following details:
Can UPC: 0 49000-00634 6
Pack UPC: 0 49000-02890 4
Date Code: SEP2925MDA
Time Stamp: 1100-1253
Labeling: 'Canned Under Authority of the Coca-Cola Company, Atlanta, GA 30313'
At this time, no other Coca-Cola cans or products have been included in the recall.
Since the recall was initiated in early March, most affected products have likely been removed from store shelves. However, if you have a recalled Coca-Cola can, do not consume it. Instead, dispose of it safely or return it to the original place of purchase for a full refund or replacement.
Prior to the March 2025 Coca-Cola recall, the company had already faced multiple recalls over the years. Here are some of the most recent ones:
In 2024, Coca-Cola issued a recall for certain diet and regular Coca-Cola cans after reports of a foul taste and odor. The issue was traced to a problem with the can lining materials, leading to concerns over product quality. A year earlier, in 2023, select Dasani water and Coca-Cola bottled drinks were recalled after potential contamination with a cleaning solution used in production. Consumers were advised to dispose of the affected products.
One of the most significant recalls occurred in 2021, when Coca-Cola pulled 12-ounce cans of Coca-Cola and Sprite from the market due to potential metal contamination. This same year, the company also recalled over 7,000 cases of Minute Maid products—including Lemonade, Fruit Punch, and Strawberry Lemonade—for a similar metal contamination issue. These products were distributed across several U.S. states, prompting a widespread recall effort.
Despite these product recalls, Coca-Cola has consistently taken swift action to address safety concerns, ensuring that contaminated or compromised products are removed from circulation to protect consumers.
