   'Human waste' found in Coca Cola cans at plant in Northern Ireland   
      
   Police are investigating after suspected human waste was found in a   
   number of empty cans at a Coca Cola factory in Northern Ireland.   
      
   Night shift workers at the Lisburn plant made the shock discovery inside a   
   number of cans on the production line, the Belfast Telegraph reported.   
      
   "It was absolutely horrible, and the machines had to be turned off for about   
   15 hours to be cleaned," a source told the paper.   
      
   "It was unusual because normally the cans come from somewhere else in the UK,   
   but this time they apparently came from Germany.   
      
   "The rumour is that some poor immigrants could have made that long journey in   
   the lorry and that in their desperation were forced to use the cans instead of   
   a toilet."   
      
   Coca Cola said the issue was identified "immediately" and that it had no   
   impact on its products on sale.   
      
   In a statement, the company said: "Coca-Cola takes the safety and quality of   
   our products extremely seriously.   
      
   "We are aware of an incident involving empty cans at our plant in Knockmore   
   Hill, Lisburn. We are treating this matter extremely seriously and are   
   conducting a thorough investigation in co-operation with the Police Service of   
   Northern Ireland (PSNI)."   
      
   A PSNI spokesman said: "Detectives are investigating an incident at commercial   
   premises in the Lisburn area following reports that a consignment of   
   containers delivered to the premises had been contaminated. The investigation   
   is at an early stage and    
   there are no further details available at this time."   
      
   The Food Standards Agency (FSA) said there was no evidence to suggest the   
   contaminated cans had reached the market in Northern Ireland.   
      
   "The incident is subject to an investigation by the PSNI and the environmental   
   health unit of Lisburn and Castlereagh city council," the FSA said
