Warning issued against a 'beverage' product

The Food Safety and Quality Center (FSQC) has issued a warning indicating the possibility of contamination of some Capri Sun juice products with cherry flavor, produced by the American brand kraft Heinz.

'They are contaminated with cleaning chemicals and carry the operational number 076840040900 with a validity period of 25/6/2023.'

FSQC confirmed that the aforementioned batches were distributed in the American markets, and in the interest of consumer health and safety, it is currently working in coordination with the concerned authorities to ensure that local markets are free of affected products if any.

The center recommended all consumers avoid consuming the specific batch numbers of this product if any.

Meanwhile, in the United States, the Food and Drug and Safety Adminstration issued a following statement.

Kraft Heinz is announcing a voluntary recall of approximately 5,760 cases of Capri Sun Wild Cherry Flavored Juice Drink Blend beverages.

The voluntary recall comes after a diluted cleaning solution, which is used on food processing equipment, was inadvertently introduced into a production line at one of our factories. Only the Wild Cherry flavored Capri Sun products with the case/package information below are affected.

The “Best When Used By” date on the products is June 25, 2023.

The issue was discovered after we received several consumer complaints about the taste of the affected product. The Company is actively working with retail partners and distributors to remove the potentially impacted products from circulation.

Consumers who purchased these items should not consume the product and can return it to the store where it was purchased. Consumers can contact Kraft Heinz from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Monday through Friday, at 1-800-280-8252 to see if a product is part of the recall and to receive reimbursement.

Kraft Heinz is committed to upholding the highest safety and quality standards.
