Urgent Recall: Check Your Central Texas Purchased Topo Chico

Killeen, Texas and area residents better check your the labels on your Topo Chico water if you recently purchased the half liter 18 packs. Honestly, your first warning should have been realizing you were buying a beverage that was portioned out in a volume defined by the metric system, but then again Texas is a melting pot after all.

Look, I'm not trying to scare the $#!+ out of you, but apparently the bacteria that is causing the recall can do way worse to your body than just loosening your bowels. According to this Fox Business article, the recall notice issued by Coca Cola is for cases specifically sold at Texas Sam's Clubs and Costcos.

Bacteria Warning: Popular Topo Chico Bottles Recalled in Central Texas

The recall specifically references Topo Chico purchased between May 20th and the 29th, so it is very likely if you purchased some to serve at your Memorial Day weekend bar-b-que in Killeen, Temple, Belton, Harker Heights, Georgetown, or Round Rock area that the recalled bottles have already been consumed.

If you did already drink the recalled beverage, you are most likely going to be fine with little to no intestinal distress. The elevated concern and risk is for anyone who has compromised health or immune system, and it is always better to return the item for a refund or replacement.
