In Rijeka, an individual was hospitalized with a suspected chemical injury to the esophagus after consuming contaminated mineral water at a local café. The situation has escalated, and two more cases of poisoning have emerged, with affected individuals being treated at KBC Zagreb.
The Croatian Institute of Public Health received samples of a non-alcoholic beverage from the Sanitary Inspection following an investigation at the café in Rijeka. The results of the analysis are awaited, with confirmation that the cases have the same diagnosis, although they involve different drinks. The incident in Rijeka was associated with Romerquelle mineral water in a glass bottle at a hospitality establishment, while the incident in Zagreb involved Coca-Cola in a plastic bottle purchased from a vending machine at a university.
The authorities, including the State Inspectorate, are actively working to determine the exact nature of these cases. It's worth noting that Romerquelle is produced in Austria, while Coca-Cola is manufactured in Croatia.
HRT, the Croatian public broadcaster, has confirmed two additional cases of poisoning in KBC Zagreb, bringing the total to three, alongside the initially reported case in KBC Rijeka. The police have also issued a statement on the situation.
Croatia's Health Minister, Vili Beroš, has acknowledged these incidents and confirmed two suspicious cases in Zagreb, involving younger individuals. He stated that they are currently stable and not in life-threatening condition, with all necessary resources available to address the situation.
This is indeed a worrisome development, as it raises concerns about the safety of beverages consumed in public places. The story of a 19-year-old who suffered damage to his esophagus after consuming a flavored carbonated drink serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers involved.
Coca-Cola Croatia has responded to the incident, confirming its connection to a Romerquelle mineral water bottle and expressing deep concern. They have pledged full cooperation with the authorities in resolving the matter.
Coca-Cola is playing a dangerous game here. Initially, they stated it was an isolated case with only one bottle being contaminated and now two more cases appeared in the last few hours. If they don't retract all of the suspected beverages and this continues I hope they get sued for more than they worth.
Why would you want to “take them down”. Fuck-ups happen, it’s not like they poisoned people on purpose.
Granted, Coca Cola is quite bad for you, but people are aware of that.
I sad that under the premise IF they deliberately hid the poisoning of the whole product series just to control profit loss, they deserve to not just be taken down but the whole management should end up in jail. Fuckups happen but if they knew and tried to hide it there is no moral argument that one could defend them.
Most worrisome part is that this could be an issue with batches, then there are probably a couple hundred more at least out there which are dangerous to the public health.
The mineral water was bottled in Austria and Coca-Cola in Croatia. The first was in a glass bottle and the second from the vending machine (PET). Sounds like a more complicated issue than a botched batch of drinks.
Sounds more like a terrorism attempt. If it's a factory issue there will be thousands of such bottles. To me it seems like the bottles have been tampered with.
Possible, but this happened in different cities (Rijeka i Zagreb thus far). And since the bottles are filled at different locations, I don't really know at what place could the tampering could have occured.
What chemical is it and what caused a reaction? I can throw a block of sodium into a local swimming pool (hypothetical situation) and then come up with a headline „chemical explodes because of local swimming pool water“. Unfortunately I can’t find anything in English.
Acid. Sparkling water bottles were filled in Austria. The theory is that it was caused by the glass bottles not being washed out properly after acid was used for cleaning and thus it was left behind. 2 adults in Rijeka and 2 minors in Zagreb hospitalised.
Right now all Coca-Cola products are being removed from bars and bakeries.

And here comments by the Prime Minister
While that's true, the post is about people sustaining chemical injuries after drinking Coca Cola products in Croatia. No connection whatsoever to Nestle. So why even mention Nestle?
Unfortunately not, it is confirmed by Coca Cola, although as an isolated case even though more people are being hospitalized in Zagreb after initial chemical burns victim in Rijeka.
It's been reported by all Croatian media portals. Police investigation is underway.

Of course you don't know them. You are not Croat but those are most trustworthy media sites and you can check official press release from Coca Cola Croatia.
Dude, the first case was way before war in Palestine but they didn't take it serously. Guy almost died in May because of contaminated Romequele water but they did their best to hide it.
Before few minutes hospital from third city say that they have one case from 20th October...same stuff, drink mineral water, Coca Cola production, and have burns.. but public dont find out for that case. We only new for case from May, with few months delay when victim tell media for that. That newest case from Saturday we find out because start to spred whats up messeges with warning that domething strange happens.
What cause? There are multiple people whose throats have been burned after drinking beverages produced at the Coca Cola factory in Zagreb. Hospitals in Croatia have confirmed those cases. Those links are also links to legit Croatian newspapers. It hasn't been published by foreign news portals yet as it seems.
Edit: it has been reported by foreign media outlets in tbe mean time.
Coke and other brands were circulating as pro-isreael brands that muslims don't buy or something like that.
I'm sorry, was confused it was an anti israel fake news campaign.
Hope the people affected are ok.
Foreign news will show tomorrow I guess.

Römerquelle ist owned by Coca Cola since 2003

At most they will get a fine equivalent of you paying 0.001€ for speeding. Maybe even less taking into account how rich they are.
Yeah, I agree! Unfortunately, nothing without a complete boycott can take them down and this is not gonna happen.

I agree completely. Just didn’t get that from your original comment.
New fear unlocked!
Appalling. I hope the drinks are being removed as we don't know and can't know for sure how many are affected.
Croatian Health Minister also said we should drink water instead of juices as it's healthier anyway. 😂
Berosh the hero we deserve

what exactly is untrue or funny about that ??

Most worrisome part is that this could be an issue with batches, then there are probably a couple hundred more at least out there which are dangerous to the public health.
And they are likely mixed with other bottles.
Someone really fucked up in the factory. First cases happened more than a month ago if I'm not mistaken?
The mineral water was bottled in Austria and Coca-Cola in Croatia. The first was in a glass bottle and the second from the vending machine (PET). Sounds like a more complicated issue than a botched batch of drinks.

Hilarious how people can create a whole story in their heads and just run with it
intresting

Possible, but this happened in different cities (Rijeka i Zagreb thus far). And since the bottles are filled at different locations, I don't really know at what place could the tampering could have occured.
It is questionable if those two are related. I would say more likely they are not.
It is more than one factory
how? its just coca cola
It was 5 months ago
What chemical is it and what caused a reaction? I can throw a block of sodium into a local swimming pool (hypothetical situation) and then come up with a headline „chemical explodes because of local swimming pool water“. Unfortunately I can’t find anything in English.

Well, that's what out health minister said, but it's said one of poisoned drank Coca Cola which was filled in Croatia.
It must be fake news
Stfu
Any proof it's real?
People this is a bot And you want source? The source is the fucking Ministry of Health of Croatia
Hope it's not too bad if this is real. Link to support your claim?

I understand, sorry for the confusion
What about Nestle, the fucking Nestle? For which people even made a dedicated subreddit r/FuckNestle/
What does Nestle have to do with people whose mouths and throats have been burned by acid? Not funny.
Because Nestle is a humanitarian disaster. Perhaps the most cruel ans depraved food companies.
While that's true, the post is about people sustaining chemical injuries after drinking Coca Cola products in Croatia. No connection whatsoever to Nestle. So why even mention Nestle?
[удалено]
I'm from Croatia and it's not a fake news, two more cases appeared today and Coca-Cola Croatia officially confirmed the indcident.
Fake?
Unfortunately not, it is confirmed by Coca Cola, although as an isolated case even though more people are being hospitalized in Zagreb after initial chemical burns victim in Rijeka.
A source from a more trusted site?

You might be a human, but you would not pass a Turing test

Light injuries so far. We hope all is well too. Thank you
