As you’re stocking up on beverages for your holiday party or family get-together, folks in Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi should be mindful of the label on their soda cans.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced a recall of products from United Packers, LLC, which includes 12-oz. aluminum cans of Diet Coke, Fanta Orange, and Sprite. The cans of soda may contain foreign materials and, at this point, have been fully pulled from store shelves and distributors. The recall includes 417 cases of Diet Coke, 14 cases of Fanta Orange, and 1,557 cases of Sprite that were distributed in Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi. Here are the UPC numbers and best-by dates to look out for:

  • Diet Coke in 12-oz. aluminum cans - 12 pack fridge pack. Lot No. JAN2924MBD3 UPC: 49000028911 Best By: 01/29/24.

  • Fanta Orange in 12-oz. aluminum cans - 12 pack fridge pack. Lot No. JUL2924MBD3 UPC: 49000030730 Best By: 07/29/24.

  • Sprite packaged in 12-oz. aluminum cans - 12 pack fridge pack. Lot No. JUL2924MBD3 UPC: 49000028928 Best By: 07/29/24.

The recall began in early November. If you have any of the recalled soda cans in your home, the FDA urges you to return the product to your point of purchase or throw it away immediately to avoid any harm from foreign materials.
