Is Texas a Part of This Major Coca-Cola, Sprite, and Minute Maid Recall?

Coca-cola recently recalled some of their products, including Minute Maid and Sprite beverages.

Eight states are impacted by this recall. Those eight states include Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New York, North Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, Maine, and New Jersey. So those of us in Texas can breathe a sigh of relief.

The recall was made due to possible foreign metal objects in the drinks, like bolts and washers. There are only select batches of drinks that are a part of this specific recall.

If you happened to purchase one of these drinks in one of the affected states this year, and still have them on your shelf, they are asking that you do not consume them. Although these batches were made months ago, they do not expire until 2022, meaning that some people might still have them in their homes and haven't consumed them yet.

Although it’s highly unlikely for those of us in Texas to be impacted, if you think the drink you purchased might be affected, please check the listed batch numbers and date codes to see if they match with the one on the can or bottle of your drink.
