Brazil greenlights production restart at Coca-Cola bottler plant
SAO PAULO, June 6 (Reuters) - Brazil's Agriculture Ministry authorized a plant operated by a Coca-Cola KO.N bottler to restart production on Friday after ordering a stoppage earlier this week.
Production and bottling at Brazilian soft drink firm Solar's Maracanau plant, located in the northeastern state of Ceara, was halted out of precaution earlier this week after authorities determined that a liquid used in cooling had come in contact with products being manufactured.
A leak in the production line's cooling system was corrected, the ministry said on Friday, adding an inspection team on-site had also approved the resumption of operations.
Still, the sale of about 9 million liters of drinks, which could have been compromised, remains on hold until results from a federal laboratory test come in, the ministry said.
But preliminary results from Solar did not signal any contamination, according to the ministry.
In a joint statement, Solar and Coca-Cola said that at no moment was the safety of products affected.
