Coca-Cola
Shanxi Beverages Co Ltd admitted in a Saturday statement that some of its
products were contaminated by chlorine in February during a routine maintenance
procedure.
Water in
production facilities with small amounts of chlorine flowed into water used for
producing drinks during a pipe refitting project on Feb 3 due to errors in
operation, the statement said.
The company
apologized for the production of nine batches of contaminated products between
Feb 4 and 8.
The Shanxi
Provincial Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision ordered the company to
cease production for rectification on April 28. The bureau said that it has
found other problems with the company's production lines.
In
mid-April, an anonymous employee of the company told local media that nine
batches of beverage products had been contaminated with chlorine during a
routine maintenance procedure.
The report
was disseminated online, leading some retailers to refuse to purchase products
from the company.
The company
will check products still in its possession and undertake any necessary
measures, said Su Yan, a company official.
