If you've recently purchased Capri-Sun drinks, you need to check if they've been recalled.

More than 5,000 cases have been called by the manufacturer, Kraft Heinz company.

The recall was called after customers complained about the taste of Capri-Sun Wild Cherry.

The recall is due to 'potential contamination.' The Best When Used By date on the contaminated products was 25 June, 2023.

The contamination is said to have occurred when cleaning solution was accidentally mixed in with the Capri-Sun juice.

A statement from Kraft Heinz read: "The voluntary recall comes after diluted cleaning solution, which is used on food processing equipment, was inadvertently introduced into a production line at one of our factories.

"Only the Wild Cherry flavoured Capri-Sun products with the case/package information below are affected."

The company statement continued: "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 product from circulation."

Any customers who might have purchased the contaminated product are advised not to consume the product.

Instead, they can return the product to the store where it was purchased.
