On Monday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recalled 864 12-packs of Coca-Cola sold in the two states earlier this month. The recalled beverages were bottled and distributed by Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling, LLC, in Milwaukee, according to the FDA. Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling initially issued a voluntary recall March 6.

“Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling is voluntarily recalling 864 cases of 12-pack Coca-Cola Classic in 12-oz cans in Illinois and Wisconsin,” a company spokesperson said in an emailed statement to USA TODAY.

“The cases are being withdrawn because they did not meet our high-quality standards. We are taking this voluntary action because nothing is more important to us than providing high-quality products to the people who drink our beverages,” the statement continued.

The FDA issued a Class II recall for the products. According to the FDA, a Class II recall is “a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.” The FDA did not mention any injuries or illnesses in connection with the recall.
