Coca-Cola recalls nearly 2,000 cases of Diet Coke, Fanta and Sprite for 'potential foreign material'

Coca-Cola issued a recall of nearly 2,000 cases of 12-packs, including Diet Coke, Sprite and Orange Fanta distributed across southern U.S. states due to a "potential foreign material" in the 12-ounce aluminum cans, according to a Food and Drug Administration notice.

The recall made headlines Thursday even though it was initiated at the beginning of November. 

The cans were distributed across Alabama, Florida and Mississippi. 

Sprite cans with a best by date of June 29, 2024 make up the bulk of the recall, with more than 1,500 cases being subject to it. Additionally, Coca-Cola is recalling 14 cases of Fanta Orange with a best by date of June 29, 2024, and 417 cases of Diet Coke with a best by date of January 29, 2024.

The FDA notice does not state what type of "potential foreign material" may be in the cans.
