Topo Chico Mineral Water is temporarily unavailable in the U.S.
Production of the Coca-Cola-owned carbonated water brand is paused as the company makes upgrades to its water source and manufacturing facilities in Mexico. The beverage giant aims to have the drinks back in production later this year, a spokesperson told Food Dive in an email.
Other Topo Chico drinks, including the brand’s flavored sparkling waters and hard seltzers, are not affected and still available, the Coca-Cola spokesperson said.
“As always, safety and quality are the company’s top priorities,” the spokesperson said.
Topo Chico mineral waters are expected to return to the U.S. later this year. Last summer, Coca-Cola recalled a limited batch of Topo Chico cases in five states after discovering potential contamination from pseudomonas, which can naturally be found in water sources.
Coca-Cola did not specify why the facility needs upgrades, but CNN reported that problems with source wells slowed production and led to a temporary stoppage of orders.
Coca-Cola bought Topo Chico for about $220 million in 2017 to diversify its portfolio away from sugary drinks. Since the purchase, Coca-Cola inked a partnership with Molson Coors to expand the brand into alcohol and launched several new products, including sparkling water made with fruit juice and nonalcoholic mixers.
Flavored sparkling, seltzer and mineral water have been a high point of growth across the industry as people cut back on sugary drinks. Sales rose to $5.5 billion in 2025, up from $3.8 billion five years earlier, according to Circana data.
Coca-Cola water sales grew 4% in its most recent quarter, while overall net revenue rose 2%. Incoming CEO Henrique Braun, who steps into the role next month, highlighted momentum for brands outside traditional soda categories such as dairy and juice.
Under Braun’s leadership, the CPG giant has plans to build more billion-dollar brands through scaling local, emerging brands within its portfolio.
