February 15, 2021 from Jerusalem Kosher News:

Rough translation: "Peach-flavored Fuse Tea made by Coca-Cola Bottlers, Republic ofGeorgia (as in the country, not Atlanta) bears an unauthorized hechsher of Machzikei Hadass Belz Badatz; that hechsher provides no oversight for any beverages from that factory."

"Rabbinate approval false as well. As is common, the problem is on the import label. The importer is being fraudulent. (just pointing out that the factory isnt claiming to be certified kosher, just the importer is)"
