Coca-Cola's European bottler recalled various drinks sold in Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands after routine testing detected elevated chlorate levels, which can harm kidney and thyroid function. The recall includes popular brands like Coca-Cola and Fanta. Regulatory bodies in affected countries warned consumers against consuming the products. Although the bottler confirmed ongoing communication with German, French, and British regulators regarding a limited number of shipments, they reassuringly emphasized that independent analysis found a low consumer risk. They have released information about affected products, produced at a bottling site in Ghent, Belgium.
The company is in contact with regulators in Germany, France, and Britain, where a limited quantity of products had also been shipped, indicating a wider vigilance.
Luxembourg Veterinary and Food Administration stated that chlorate exposure can cause kidney problems and affect thyroid function, heightening concerns, particularly for children.
