The recall includes imported cans of 6x250ml Appletiser multipacks, which were sent only to supermarkets in the UK, and imported cans of Coca-Cola Original Taste, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Diet Coke and Sprite Zero, which were sent to cafes and restaurants during a limited time period.
Chlorate is a by-product of the breakdown of chemicals often used to sterilise water.
Coca-Cola’s bottling partner, Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, said the majority of its products, including standard cans, and all glass and plastic bottles sold in the UK, were not affected.
It added: “Whilst independent analysis concluded that the likelihood of any associated risk of feeling temporarily unwell from consuming these products is very low, for the reassurance of consumers, we encourage anyone with an affected can to please call our customer service team on 0800 227711 who will be able to help.”
On Tuesday, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said there had been a “limited distribution to the UK” of Coca-Cola soft drinks containing higher levels of chlorate.
In 2015, the European Food Safety Authority found that levels of chlorate in drinking water and foods were too high and could result in serious health effects, especially among infants and children.
