A popular coffee beverage under the Starbucks label has been recalled by PepsiCo about concerns over possible contamination by metal fragments in the cans.
The soft drink company announced a voluntary recall of its Starbucks Vanilla Espresso Triple Shot drink over the issue, which may have contaminated as many as 221 cases of the beverage.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initiated the recall on Aug. 15, but did not make it public until Sept. 8 on its website.
The FDA’s enforcement notice has a warning telling consumers to dispose of the tainted drinks due to the fragments.
PepsiCo told Fox Business that the contaminated coffee beverages were not sold at Starbucks stores, but were distributed in 15-ounce cans at retailer stores in the states of Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Oklahoma, and Texas….
