Bad Taste: Coke Products Withdrawn in St. Louis | News

Several St. Louis area Schnucks stores are pulling certain Coke products off their shelves. This  comes after reports of bad tasting products.

Coca-Cola officials say the product was pulled because of a "poor taste" that did not hold up to the company's quality standards.   Schnucks says the recall is not a food safety recall, but a quality issue.  The affected batches were carried by various St. Louis retailers including Schnucks stores.

Anyone who purchased the recalled products can return them to Schnucks for a full refund or exchange.

All withdrawn products were produced at the Maryland Heights Coca-Cola facility.  The products use the following UPC and OTC codes.
