After Mega-Product Recall at Coca Cola: Cola, Fanta, Sprite and MezzoMix Turn into Biogas

According to a report by ORF Burgenland, the Coca-Cola, Fanta, Sprite and MezzoMix bottles affected by the product recall will be converted into biogas. The broadcaster quoted a letter from the company that was available to it. Coca Cola could not initially be reached for an explanation to the APA early Wednesday morning.

Coca Cola aims to dispose of affected Coca-Cola, Fanta, Sprite and MezzoMix bottles as sustainably as possible

About 28 million bottles with a best-before date between 4.2.2025 and 12.4.2025 with the code "WP" under the printed date were affected. During filling at the production plant in Edelstal (Neusiedl am See district), a sieve broke, so small metal pieces were suspected in the sodas. It was one of the largest recalls ever in Austria.

The affected PET bottles are now to be recycled, while the liquids are to be used in biogas production. "After validating all handling options and a comprehensive risk assessment, we have decided to dispose of all affected products as sustainably as possible for safety reasons," ORF Burgenland quoted from the letter. Coca-Cola also said that so far only one confirmed product complaint had been received after the four-week public recall phase.
