Kraft Heinz has announced they are recalling roughly 5,760 cases of Capri Sun Wild Cherry flavored juice due to possible contamination. The recall comes after the company received “several consumer complaints about the taste” of the drink. The recall only affects the Wild Cherry flavor; however, all impacted lots were sold in the United States. After looking into the complaints, Kraft Heinz discovered that a diluted cleaning solution used on food processing equipment may have contaminated a production line.
Each case of Capri Sun has four cartons, which had 10 pouches in each, meaning the recall affects roughly 230,400 pouches. To identify a contaminated case, look for a “best when used by” date of Jun 25, 2023 on each 6.6 ounce Capri Sun Wild Cherry pouch. Any Wild Cherry pouches with this date should either be thrown away or returned to the store they were purchased from.
