Coca-Cola Coca-Cola announced a revocation of their beverages in some countries in Europe, as they are found to contain “elevated quantities” of the chemical substance chlorate.The company announced that it is revoking its products from shelves in Belgium, Luxembourg and Netherlands. In the UK, the company said, five five names of the products of this batch were delivered at the end of last
year, and all of it had already been sold. Chlorate can be formed when using disinfectants based
chlorine in the treatment of water and in the food industry. “Independent expert analysis shows that the
risk to consumers is very small,” a spokesman said in an interview with the BBC. Coca-Cola reported that it has not received

Exposure to high levels of chlorate can negatively affect health and cause thyroid problems, especially in children and infants. National National Health Service Britain (NHS) Caron Grazette said to the BBC: “We have to consider whether we want to abuse in food
the chemical substances in soft alcoholic beverages, which are used in the manufacturing of fireworks and disinfectants whatever significant quantity of these substances.” Eating foods with high content
of chlorate may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and limitation of the blood’s ability to absorb oxygen, the expert added, referring to recent research on this chemical
substance. An unnamed representative of the company said,cited by AFP, elevated levels of chlorate were detected in a scheduled testing at the company’s manufacturing plant
in Ghent, Belgium. According to AFP data, a large part of the unsold products have been removed from the
