Coca-Cola has recalled some of its Minute Maid drinks due to potential foreign matter in the containers, according to reports.
The recall, which started on Nov. 10, affects some refrigerated Minute Maid Berry Punch, Strawberry Lemonade and Fruit Punch products in 59-ounce containers, USA Today reported.
The recall was voluntary, Coca-Cola spokesperson Ann Moore told USA Today.
Food Safety News said the foreign matter could be metal bolts or washers.
The items were distributed in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New York, North Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, Maine and New Jersey, Food Safety News reported.
