NO PESTICIDES were detected in a Coca-Cola milk drink that has been removed from sale in northeastern China after a 10-year-old boy died, Xinhua news agency reported yesterday.
Coca-Cola sent a sample of the strawberry-flavored Minute Maid Pulpy Super Milky to the National Food Quality Supervision and Inspection Center for tests after the boy died and his mother was seriously sickened after drinking the beverage on November 28 in Changchun, capital of Jilin Province.
Immediately after the incident, police found toxic pesticides in the remaining contents of the drink the boy and his mother had consumed. Coca-Cola's Changchun company pulled the drink from shelves to cooperate with the investigation, but insisted checks done by itself and a third party found the product safe.
"All checks have found our products safe and meeting standards, proving that Coca-Cola has nothing to do with the accident," the beverage giant had said in a statement yesterday, Xinhua reported.
Local police are still investigating the case.
