Bowen Says Alleged Herbicide In Coke Bottle Did Not Originate From Them
Wed, March 27, 2024
Yesterday we told you about the tourist who claimed that she ingested a herbicide that was inside a Coke Zero bottle, which she found in her room's refrigerator.

The tourist wrote in a Trip Advisor review that she was staying at Manta Island Resort, on Glover's Reef. She claims they gave her very little help, and she also stated that in her communication with Bowen and Bowen, they told her that the bottle did not originate at their plant.

And though the tourist insists that the bottle was sealed, Bowen maintained that position today. In a press release, they state, quote, "Immediate action was taken to initiate a comprehensive internal review, carefully executing all the required verification procedures. After a thorough investigation, including checks on the production retention batch samples and other bottles with the same date codes from the resort, we have found no quality issues or complaints with the corresponding production batch." End quote.

The release also said that Bowen uses advanced manufacturing to ensure product safety, and that each product undergoes stringent quality control checks. Bowen also maintains control of the product from the production process until delivery to customers.

So how exactly did a Coke Zero bottle allegedly containing Paraquat end up in a refrigerator at Manta Island Resort? Well, we still don't know, and though we reached out to the owner of the resort, he refrained from commenting.

The incident occurred over a month ago, and led to health complications experienced by the tourist. She just posted about the experience earlier this week.
