Walmart, Publix, and Other Grocery Stores Sold This Potentially Dangerous Kid’s Drink
It’s the tail end of summer before school starts back up and that means long days for kids playing outside until the sun goes down. And when they’re finally coming back in to grab something to drink—nothing looks more refreshing than a squeezable Capri Sun.
Only now there is a chance that one of those iconic pouches may be contaminated with cleaning fluid.
Kraft Heinz is recalling over 5,700 cases of Capri Sun Wild Cherry Flavored Juice Drink Blend pouches. The company has said that only one flavor is included in the drinks it suspects were tainted with the cleaning solution. It said it was first alerted to the issue when consumers started reporting that it tasted off.
Kraft released a statement about the incident saying that the cleaning solution is used on “food processing equipment,” and “was inadvertently introduced into a production line at one of (the) factories.”
No stores are listed by the company as having sold the contaminated pouches, but both Walmart and Publix list the recall on their websites.
So far, there have not been any serious reactions reported regarding consuming the product. However, Kraft Heinz urges anyone who may have bought the Capri Sun drinks to throw them away immediately.
