Coca-Cola beverages in Bavaria found to contain metal fragments
In a recent development, Coca-Cola has announced a recall of its products in six states across Germany - Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Brandenburg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Thuringia, and Rhineland-Palatinate. The recall is due to potential metal fragments found in the drinks, which could affect health.
The affected products include all 0.5-liter PET bottles of Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Zero, Coca-Cola Zero Lemon, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Zero Caffeine, Coca-Cola Light, Fanta (Fanta Orange, Fanta Orange Zero, Fanta Lemon Zero, Fanta Exotic Zero), Sprite (Sprite, Sprite Zero), and MezzoMix. The recall is limited to products with a best-before date between 4. February 2025 and 12. April 2025 and the coding "WP" below the printed date.
The metal fragments entered the drinks due to a suspected breakage in a sieve during production. As a result, the affected sodas must be destroyed and cannot be sold again. This recall does not affect products produced in Germany but was initiated by Coca-Cola HBC Austria GmbH, the company responsible for producing the affected cola beverages.
In a related development, Coca-Cola in Austria had to recall numerous products about two weeks ago due to similar contamination concerns.

It's important to note that the recall does not affect the 95.5 newsletter or its associated benefits, such as the chance to win an Oktoberfest table. However, consumers are advised to check their Coca-Cola, Fanta, Sprite, and MezzoMix products carefully and avoid consuming those that fall under the specified recall criteria.
