French authorities announce recall of Coca-Cola cherry cans due to health risks
(MENAFN) French authorities have announced the recall of Coca-Cola Cherry cans in France due to health risks associated with the presence of bisphenol A (BPA). The government website "Rabil Konso" reported that these cans are being withdrawn as a precautionary measure because BPA, a hazardous chemical, is used in the production of the phenoxy resin inner coating of the containers. Although BPA has been banned in France since 2015, it was previously common in the canning industry and is recognized by the French Food Safety Agency as an endocrine disruptor. This substance is suspected of being linked to several health issues, including breast cancer and infertility.
The "Rapel Conso" website did not specify the number of affected packages, but the recall will continue until August 27. Consumers who purchased these products are eligible for a full refund. In response, Coca-Cola stated that the recall only affects Coca-Cola Cherry products sold in stores affiliated with the B&M chain, and not other Coca-Cola Cherry products available at other retail locations in France. The recall applies to packaging produced outside France, whereas products manufactured and distributed within the country by Coca-Cola Europacific Partners France are not impacted.
