Coca-Cola Company has recalled its Minute Maid drinks, due to metal bolts and washers that were found in the popular beverage.
A limited quantity of refrigerated Minute Maid Berry Punch, Strawberry Lemonade, and Fruit Punch in 59-oz, cartons did not meet the company’s “high-quality standards due to the potential presence of foreign matter,” a spokesperson for Coca-Cola told Fox Business in a statement.
The affected products were distributed to stores in Pennsylvania, New York, Maine, Virginia, Maryland, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and North Carolina.
“We took this voluntary action because nothing is more important to us than providing safe, high-quality products to the people who drink our beverages,” a Coca-Cola spokesperson said in a statement.
The Food and Drug Administration classified the incident as a Class II recall, which means the product “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.”
