According to the announcement made by the FDA, around 2000 cases of these products found these foreign bodies were in 12-ounce aluminum cans in 12-pack fridge packs. All of these products have been recalled by the FDA.

According to the reports, the Coca-Cola Company is determined to complete this recall issued by the FDA. And they have assured us that no further affected cans are available in the market. Unfortunately, this is not the first time the Coca-Cola Company has issued a recall due to “foreign material.” They said all recall activities in the local markets are complete. No impacted product remains in the market.”
Apart from them, Aviator Sundried Tomato Halves are also being recalled due to under-clear sulfites, which can be life-threatening for people who are sensitive to this ingredient. Pre-cut cantaloupes are also being recalled in the U.S.A. and Canada.
In 2021, Coca-Cola recalled variants of Minute Maid juice products over concerns that foreign metal objects like metal bolts or washers, had entered their products. At that point, the company issued the voluntary recall of nearly 7,000 cases of Minute Maid Products. FDA classified that recall as a Class II recall as well.
