There has been a “limited distribution to the UK” of Coca-Cola soft drinks containing higher levels of a chemical called chlorate, the Food Standards Agency has said.
The statement comes after the Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, the company’s bottling partner, said batches of Appletiser, Coca-Cola Original Taste, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Diet Coke and Sprite Zero were pulled from the shelves in Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands after testing revealed “elevated levels” of the chemical.
