Latest statement from Coca-Cola

Product quality and safety are always our top priorities. Following further tracing and recall efforts, we can confirm that use of the 25 kg of the affected Fonterra whey protein was limited to only one batch of Minute Maid Pineapple Pulpy Milky, produced on March 5, 2013, and shipped to only three provinces, i.e. batch #20130305 DGP6 produced between 06:50 to 17:50 on March 5, 2013 at our Dongguan plant, only distributed to three provinces: Yunnan (3273 cases), Guangxi (788 cases) and Guangdong (14967 cases).

These products are safe for consumption due to the ultra-high temperature (UHT) manufacturing process we use, and also the low acidity, which sanitizes the final products. In order to fully reassure consumers, we are cooperating with the government and actively recalling products from this single batch. We confirm again that all Coca-Cola products in China are safe for consumption.

Notice for consumers and customers in Yunnan, Guangxi and Guangdong with Pineapple Pulpy Milky produced on March 5, 2013:

We are recalling only Pineapple Pulpy Milky with a March 5, 2013 production date from these three provinces. The production date is clearly marked on our packaging. Consumers and customers with the said product are advised to call the service hotline indicated on our packaging to facilitate pick up. We apologize for the inconvenience caused. To prevent such incidents from occurring again, we will strengthen our supervision of our suppliers.
