Bottled beer recalled over glass contamination fears

Zoom in font  Zoom out font Published: 2012-09-11  Authour: Joe Whitworth  Views: 129
Core Tip: The UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) has expanded a recall of beer bottles after it emerged they may contain glass.
French beer brand, Brasserie de Saint-Omer, has had its products recalled from Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Aldi, Asda, Morrisons and The Co-op with the best before date up to and including 30 September 2013.

It is believed a number of bottles may contain pieces of glass due to a manufacturing fault.

Precautionary basis

The FSA said: “Brasserie de Saint-Omer is recalling affected products on a precautionary basis from Tesco and other retailers.

“Point-of-sale notices will be displayed in stores, explaining to consumers what they should do if they have bought the affected products.

“If you have bought any of these beers, do not drink it but return to your nearest store for a full refund.”

It is unclear how many bottles have been affected by the recall and how the potential fault occurred.

Affected beers

Sainsbury’s started the recall last week with its Biere des Moulins Lager and St Cervois Premium Lager.

It has since been expanded to include Brasserie de Saint-Omer Panaché, 10x25cl.

The recall from Asda includes: Asda Bière de Luxe, 10x250ml, Asda French Lager, 10x250ml and Brasserie de Saint-Omer Shandy, 10x25cl.

Aldi is withdrawing Aldi Brasserie Bière Blonde Lager, 8x25cl, Aldi Brasserie French Lager, 10x25cl and Aldi Brasserie Shandy, 10x25cl.

Co-op French Premium Lager, 8x250ml and 18x250ml Brasserie de Saint-Omer Lite, 24x25cl and Tesco Bière d’Or 10x25cl.

Morrisons are recalling Brasserie de Saint-Omer Export, 8x25cl and 18x250ml, Brasserie de Saint-Omer Panaché, 10x25cl and Bière Continentale, 10x25cl.
