Drinking soda has been linked to several health issues, but an FDA report says this iconic brand's cans may have a "foreign object" in them.
Over 10,000 Coca-Cola Products Recalled in 2 States
Published on Mar. 25, 2025
The Coca-Cola brand is one of the most recognized names in the soda industry. The company, which owns other brands such as Fanta, Powerade, and Minute Maid, says on its website that “more than 1.9 billion servings of our drinks are enjoyed in more than 200 countries each day.” But a new update for a Coca-Cola recall suggests some consumers may want to double-check their soda can packs at home—and it’s for a reason we’re seeing listed more and more in recent recalls.
On Monday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) updated a recall for Coca-Cola products that was evidently first issued on March 6. The recall is for 864 total 12-count packs (or 10,368 total cans) of Coca-Cola Original Taste, due to “foreign object (plastic).” Just in the past week, cheese, hot sauce, and burger recalls from the FDA have all been tied to possible “foreign materials.”
Though the FDA has now labeled the recall as a Class II, it is not further clarified in the agency’s report how the plastic “foreign object” was first discovered and if any consumers were directly affected. A Class II recall means the products involved “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health effects.”
The FDA lists two states where the recalled products were distributed: Illinois and Wisconsin. The product details include:
- Coca-Cola Original Taste
- 12 fluid ounces (355 mL)
- Can UPC 0 49000-00634 6
- 12-can pack UPC 0 49000-02890 4
- Date Code: SEP2925MDA
- Time Stamp: 1100-1253
- Canned Under Authority of the Coca-Cola Company, Atlanta, GA 30313
- 10,368 total cans recalled (864 packs of 12 cans)
It is not immediately clear from the report which retail stores the recalled products may have been sold in.
The recalling firm is listed as Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling, LLC in Milwaukee, WI. The company’s website describes them as a “proud bottler and distributor of Coca-Cola, Dr Pepper, and Monster products servicing the West Coast and Midwest,” with a listed production and distribution center in Milwaukee.
Though the FDA does not offer further details if you have the recalled soda cans on hand, it’s likely best to not drink from any with matching recall details. You can also reach out to your place of purchase to ask about a possible refund or exchange.
