COCA-COLA has issued a massive recall involving over 800 items across two states.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sent out a critical alert about the beverage being contaminated with plastic.

The agency issued an alert over the 864 12-packs of Coca-Cola that were sold in two states earlier this month.

On Monday, the FDA designated the alert as a Class II recall, indicating that it involves “a situation where using or being exposed to a non-compliant product might lead to temporary or medically reversible adverse health effects, and the likelihood of serious health consequences is improbable.”

The contaminated packs were made by the Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling, LLC, in Milwaukee, Tennessee, according to the recall.

“Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling is proactively recalling 864 cases of 12-pack Coca-Cola Classic in 12-oz cans in the states of Illinois and Wisconsin,” a spokesperson from the company communicated via email to USA Today.

“The cases are being withdrawn because they did not meet our high-quality standards.”

“We have chosen to take this voluntary step because ensuring that we provide top-quality products to our consumers is our highest priority,” they mentioned further.

Consumers who bought a pack of the popular soda in Illinois or Wisconsin were asked to check for a recall notification from authorities.

Those two who purchased the product will be contacted through two or more of the following methods: email, fax, letter, press release, telephone call, or visit.

There isn’t any specific guidance on how to proceed if a consumer has bought the product already.

However, generally, the agency advises consumers to discard the item without consuming it.

Coca-Cola did not immediately reply to The U.S. Sun’s request for comment.

This comes as consumers are dealing with another recall of a very common grocery staple.

Customers were cautioned about consuming contaminated tomatoes from two different manufacturers — Williams Farms Repack LLC and Ray & Mascari Inc.

The tomatoes were recalled after a possible risk of Salmonella, according to the alert.

Coca-Cola’s Full Statement

A Coca-Cola spokesperson emailed USA Today regarding the recall:

“Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling is voluntarily recalling 864 cases of 12-pack Coca-Cola Classic in 12-oz cans in Illinois and Wisconsin. The cases are being withdrawn because they did not meet our high-quality standards. We are taking this voluntary action because nothing is more important to us than providing high-quality products to the people who drink our beverages.”

“Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems,” the FDA wrote.

“Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.”

If Salmonella gets into the bloodstream, there is a chance of contracting more serious illnesses like arterial infections, endocarditis, and arthritis.

There have been no reported illnesses relating to Salmonella yet, but consumers who are experiencing symptoms were asked to contact the distributors.

In 2025, the FDA issued recall alerts for over 50 food and beverage products.

The agency also provides email notifications and updates regarding food, drugs, cosmetics, and medical devices.
