Coca-Cola has issued a major recall of a number of products sold in the UK over fears they could contain high levels of chlorate. The products recalled include multipacks of six 250ml cans of Appletiser 100% Apple Juice Gently Sparkling, as well as 330ml cans of Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Coca-Cola Zero and Sprite Zero which were sent only to cafes and restaurants. Standard dimension cans, all glass and plastic bottles sold in the UK are not being recalled, Coca-Cola Europacific Partners said.
The company has shared the exact batch and production codes that have been recalled and urged consumers to avoid drinking them. The recall comes just one day after the company recalled a number of drinks in Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. These are all the products being recalled in the UK:.
Pack size: 6 X 250ml multipack. Batch code: 0008905850 0008908477. Best before: 30 November 2025 and 31 December 2025. The company said: "We are recalling a very small number of multipacks of Appletiser 6 x 250ml cans due to the presence of an elevated level of chlorate in the product. The cans impacted are identified by a production code printed on their base - which will be from 328 GE to 338 GE - and best before dates of 30 November 2025 and 31 December 2025. No other Appletiser products are affected by this issue.".
