Topo Chico Mineral Water Pulled From U.S. Shelves During Source and Plant Upgrades

The company targets a U.S. return in the third quarter after addressing well and geology-related quality problems.

Overview

  • Coca-Cola says the flagship glass-bottle mineral water is temporarily unavailable in the United States, while other Topo Chico beverages remain on sale.
  • A company letter to distributors cites problems at the Monterrey, Mexico, source wells, including geology-related quality issues that slowed output in recent months.
  • Coca-Cola is investing in the spring and Mexican facilities and has halted production, with availability expected later in 2026 and likely around the third quarter.
  • Some online listings at major retailers still show limited inventory as existing stock is sold through.
  • The pause follows a limited 2025 recall and earlier supply constraints, and industry coverage notes competitors could capture shelf space during the outage.
