By Dr Masimba Mavaza Coca-Cola has recalled drinks in several European countries due to “higher levels” of a chemical called chlorate. BBC news has reported. The recall mainly affects Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands, with five product lines shipped to Britain that have already been sold. The affected brands include Coke, Fanta, Sprite, Tropico, and Minute Maid. Chlorate can form when chlorine-based disinfectants are used in water treatment and food processing. A company spokesperson said that independent experts have determined the risk to consumers is very low but did not rule out the risk all together.
