When food and beverages are mass produced as they are in our modern world, there is always going to be a small percentage of unwanted contaminants and hazardous risks that slip through the cracks. Whether it's the discovery of the presence of a foreign material, faulty packaging or a simple mislabeling event, recalls are an unavoidable byproduct of the business.
This year, product recalls have seemingly been off the charts, with Coca-Cola now joining the fold with a recall of its own. On March 6, a manufacturer of the famed soda giant issued a recall of over 10,000 cans of Original Coca-Cola due to the presence of plastic. Now, just a couple of short weeks later, the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) officially upgraded the event to a Class II recall, citing the potential for 'temporary' or 'reversible' health consequences.
The FDA defines a Class II recall as the second-most severe risk level a recall event can receive. This indicates a situation in which 'the use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.'
In total, the recall names 864 12-packs of 12-ounce Original Coca-Cola cans that were manufactured by Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling, LLC in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The silver lining here is that only a specific batch of 12-ounce cans are impacted by this recall, of which were distributed in both Illinois and Wisconsin.

In addition to the identifying information printed above, consumers can also look out for the following statement to be printed on the cans as well: 'Canned Under Authority of the Coca-Cola Company, Atlanta, GA 30313.'
While no other Coca-Cola products have been named in the recall as of now, it is important to note that since the recall was initiated in early March, chances are that the majority of affected products have already been pulled from retail shelves. In case you happen to have some of the recalled cans in your possession, however, it is recommended that you do not consume it, and rather throw it away or return to the original place of purchase for a full refund.
