Coca-Cola consumers hospitalised in Croatia, no need to fear in Hungary

In Croatia, several people have been hospitalised with a sore throat after drinking a Coca-Cola product. The company reassures everyone that Hungarian products are safe for consumption.

Two of beverage giant’s products have been recalled by Coca-Cola’s distributor in Croatia in recent days after six people were hospitalised after consuming the fizzy drink.

The Coca-Cola representative in Hungary, in response to a question from Telex, said that Hungarian consumers need not fear, “the events in Croatia do not affect products marketed in Hungary.”

Authorities say several people have had their esophagus eviscerated by Coca-Cola products. The Croatian Public Health Institute is investigating whether there are any foreign elements in the drinks. The company’s products have been withdrawn from the shelves of numerous supermarkets.

According to the company, this is an isolated case and there is no reason to fear a similar poisoning in Hungary.
