Coca-Cola Recalls Over 70,000 Cans in Texas Due to Metal Contamination—Here Are the Product Codes to Check

If you’ve recently stocked up on Coca-Cola, Coke Zero Sugar, or Sprite in Texas, it’s time to check your pantry. Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages has recalled more than 70,000 cans due to the potential presence of metal fragments inside the drinks.

Recalled Products and Codes

The recall affects specific 12-, 24-, and 35-pack cans distributed exclusively in Texas. Here are the exact products and codes to look for:

Product	Pack Size	UPC Code	Production Code
Coca-Cola Zero Sugar	12-pack	49000042559	FEB0226MAA
Coca-Cola Zero Sugar	35-pack	49000043343	FEB0226MCA
Coca-Cola	24-pack	49000030347	FEB0526MCA
Coca-Cola	35-pack	49000030330	FEB0526MCA
Sprite	12-pack	49000028911	FEB0226MCA
Sprite	35-pack	49000028928	FEB0226MCA

These codes are printed on the packaging and can help you identify whether your soda is part of the recall.

Why the Recall?

The FDA classified this as a Class II recall, meaning the products may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects. While no injuries have been reported, ingesting metal fragments could lead to mouth, throat, or digestive injuries.

✅ What to Do

• Check your cans for the UPC and production codes listed above.

• Do not consume any affected products.

• Return them to the store for a refund or dispose of them safely.

• Coca-Cola has not issued public disposal instructions, and the recall was not widely announced until the FDA posted it on October 20.
