ZAGREB: Coca Cola HBC said on Wednesday it was temporarily withdrawing batches of two soft drinks from sale in Croatia while the authorities there investigate cases of illness suspected to have been caused by the beverages.
The company said in a statement it was also withdrawing a limited batch of Romerquelle Emotion Blueberry Pomegranate 330ml. It added that its internal analysis had not found any irregularities in either product but that it was withdrawing the batches until official investigations had concluded. The individual is being treated in hospital, health minister Vili Beros said on Wednesday, later telling state television HRT that 13 other people across Croatia had also reported symptoms after consuming Coca Cola drinks.
