Coca-Cola’s outbreak hurt many children in Belgium and other adults around the world. After the discovery in Belgium, many more countries followed with forcing Coke to recall their products. One country even went as far as to ban Coca-Cola products from their country. Apparently, not long after this contamination, a shipment of water distributed by Coke arrives in Poland carrying mold (Ferrell, Fraedrick, & Ferrell, 2015).

Two key factors were determined by the group of researchers: the fluids and electrolytes lost were not being replaced, and the large amounts of carbohydrates used for energy were not being replenished.
