Coca-Cola has recalled tens of thousands of Diet Coke, Sprite, and Fanta cans after suspicion they may be contaminated with ‘foreign material,’ the FDA said.
Nearly 2,000 cases sold in Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida since November 6 have been affected.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the recall in a filing.
The FDA said the recall is complete, and no more affected cans are on the market.
The contaminated cans were manufactured by United Packers in Alabama, according to The Daily Mail.
The recall included 12-ounce aluminum cans, but they did not specify what the ‘foreign material’ was.
