Capri Sun recall overview: 

• Who: Kraft Heinz recalled about 5,760 cases of Capri Sun Wild Cherry Flavored Juice Drink Blend beverages.
• Why: The company says customers complained about the taste, and it realized a diluted cleaning product got into the production line. 
• Where: The recall is nationwide in the United States.

Kraft Heinz issued a recall of more than 5,700 cases of Capri Sun Wild Cherry juice blend drinks after customers complained of the drinks’ taste and the company realized cleaning solution got into the production line.

Kraft Heinz issued the recall of approximately 5,760 cases of Capri Sun Wild Cherry Flavored Juice Drink Blend beverages Aug. 12 on its website. 

“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,” the company says.  

Kraft Heinz is actively working with retail partners and distributors to remove potentially impacted product from circulation, the recall notice says.

Capri Sun recall says customers can return recalled product to purchase store 

Kraft Heinz is not currently facing legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes lead to class action lawsuits.

Only the Wild Cherry flavored Capri Sun products with “Best When Used By” date of June 25, 2023, are affected.

Consumers who purchased the drink should not consume it and can return it to the store where it was purchased. 

They can contact Kraft Heinz from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday at 1-800-280-8252 to see if a product is part of the recall and to receive reimbursement.

“Kraft Heinz is committed to upholding the highest safety and quality standards,” the Capri Sun recall says. 

In January, Kraft Heinz faced another class action lawsuit. It alleged the company mislabeled its peach mango-flavored MiO product by advertising natural flavors and concealing its artificial flavoring.
