The recall is just days after Coca-Cola removed their products from UK supermarket shelves due to health worries over increased levels of chlorate in their products.
Coca Cola's British division confirmed that a 'small number' of their products have been removed from supermarkets, restaurants, and cafes.
The beverage company reported that a limited quantity of Appletiser multipack cans had been recalled from stores, while cans of Sprite Zero, Coca-Cola, as well as zero-calorie and diet variants of the product, had been removed from some restaurants and cafes.
It has come to light that the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has confirmed that there was a "limited distribution" of Coca-Cola soft drinks with higher levels of chlorate in the UK, following a recall in certain European regions earlier this week.
A Coca-Cola spokesperson said, "Following an ongoing dialogue with the UK Food Standards Agency, we are recalling a small number of imported 6x250ml Appletiser multipacks that were sent exclusively to supermarkets in the UK."
We are also removing a smaller quantity of tall, imported cans of Coca-Cola Original Taste, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Diet Coke, and Sprite Zero, which were temporarily distributed to cafes and restaurants.
All affected containers have production codes ranging from 328 GE to 338 GE, which can be located at the bottom of the container.
The majority of Coca-Cola products, including standard cans, and all glass and plastic bottles sold in the United Kingdom are not affected.
They revealed the 'likelihood of any associated risk' related to these beverages is 'very low', and are reassuring their customers that 'no other' UK Coca-Cola products have been impacted by this issue.
Manufacturers urge customers affected by this issue to contact their customer service team at 0800 227711.
