Here comes the sun and I say, it’s actually not all right. More than five thousand cases of Capri Sun—5,760 to be exact—have been recalled due to possible contamination of cleaning solution. While I respect Kraft Heinz’s rigorous attempt to deep clean their production facilities, I think even Danny Tanner would agree that this takes it one step too far. According to Kraft Heinz, which owns Capri Sun, among other food brands from my childhood like Ore-Ida, Jello-O, and Kool-Aid, the “all natural” juice packs were taken off shelves after customers complained that Wild Cherry tasted off.
Upon further investigation, the company found that, no, it wasn’t the essence of “Tame Cherry” causing the funky flavor but rather, that a “diluted cleaning solution, which is used on food processing equipment, was inadvertently introduced into a production line at one of our factories.” At this time, there have been no reports of illnesses, hospitalizations, or deaths. Fruit punch lovers, fear not–only Wild Cherry-flavored Capri Sun was impacted by this sanitary flub.
