South Africans who have recently purchased Citro-Soda are being urged to check their products after the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority issued a recall on certain batches of Citro-Soda Regular. The recall comes after concerns about possible contamination linked to manufacturing issues at a production facility operated by Adcock Ingram, as stated on the SAHPRA website.
While the action is precautionary, consumers are advised to take simple steps to ensure their product is safe. Start by examining the packaging carefully: look for the batch number printed on the bottle or outer packaging, compare it with the affected batch numbers listed by SAHPRA, and check the expiry date alongside the batch code.
