The Kraft Heinz Company has issued a recall of approximately 5,760 cases of Capri Sun Wild Cherry Flavored Juice Drink Blend after a contamination incident. According to Kraft Heinz, a diluted cleaning solution that is used on food processing equipment was inadvertently introduced into a production line at one of its factories. Only products made and sold in the US with a 'best when used by' date of 25 June 2023 are subject to the recall.

Kraft Heinz said in a statement: "The issue was discovered after we received several consumer complaints about the taste of the affected product. The company is actively working with retail partners and distributors to remove potentially impacted products from circulation." Consumers who have purchased the drink can return the product to the store where it was purchased. Late last year, Kraft Heinz issued a limited recall affecting Country Time Lemonade and a number of other beverage products, due to the potential presence of small pieces of metal and glass.
