Coca-Cola Products Distributed in NJ Part of Multi-State Recall

Can of soda with a side of metal bolts? Coca-Cola is reportedly recalling some of its products in several states including New Jersey over potential contamination.

That contamination comes in the form of foreign metal objects. Yep, metal bolts and washers, Patch.com reports. Because that's what you want when you pop a can of Coke. Um, ew.

The Food & Drug Administration reportedly classified the contamination as 'Class II', meaning that metal exposure of this nature can result in temporary or medically reversible health issues, according to Ann L. Moore, a spokesperson with the Coca-Cola Company.

Cans of Coca-Cola and Sprite fall under the recall, as well as three kinds of Minute Maid juice, foodsafetynews.com reports. The recalled batches all have 2022 expiration dates ranging from January to August. Below are the codes of the affected products:
