Kraft Heinz announced on Friday it was recalling around 5,760 cases of the Wild Cherry flavour of the drink after customers complained about the taste.
Each case contains around 10 pouches of the drink.
It came after a diluted cleaning solution, intended to be used on food processing equipment, was accidentally added to a production line at one of the factories.

"Only the Wild Cherry flavoured Capri-Sun products with the case/package information below are affected."
The best-before date on the affected products is June 25 2023.
The company said customers should not consume the product and could return cases to the same place they bought them for a refund.
