Croatia's state inspection office on Thursday said an analysis of Coca Cola soft drinks consumed by individuals who subsequently reported health problems has shown they were safe. The Croatian authorities earlier this week banned the sale of some Coca Cola-branded beverages and a batch of Romerquelle Emotion Blueberry Pomegranate drink after a series of reported health incidents related to their consumption. An internal analysis by the local arm of Coca Cola HBC , which distributes Coca Cola products, did not find any irregularities in either product.
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. Earlier Croatia's state inspection office ordered the local arm of Coca Cola HBC, which distributes Coca-Cola products, to withdraw a batch of Coca-Cola Original Taste 500ml. 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.
