A BEER manufacturer has urgently recalled multiple products over a dangerous potential health risk.
Three Tuns Brewery has pulled five of its drinks from the stores and pubs.
The brewery has recalled five of its products
The firm has recalled XXX, Solstice, Cleric’s cure, Best, and Stout bottles and cans due to incorrect allergen labelling.
The beers contain undeclared ingredients which can pose risks for people with allergies.
The labels do not mention wheat and barley which is dangerous to consume to anyone who has a coeliac disease or intolerance or allergy to wheat, barley or gluten.
The customers should look out for Solstice, Cleric’s cure, Best, and Stout 500ml bottles with best before date of August, 2026.
The XXX 500ml bottles and 400ml cans with the same best before date are also affected.
People with allergies who have bought the beer have been warned not to consume it.
Instead, you can return it back to the brewery for a full refund.
You can check the best before date on the rear of the can or on the neck of the bottle.
Food items may sometimes be recalled if there is “a problem with the product that means it should not be sold”, the FSA said.
It added: “Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.
“When there is a food allergy risk, the FSA will issue an Allergy Alert.”
This comes after Sainsbury’s has recalled two of its products over fears it could cause an outbreak of potentially deadly illness.
Customers have been warned not to eat either of the products after it was discovered they may contain Shiga toxin-producing E.coli (STEC).
Shoppers may suffer serious symptoms including diarrhoea, abdominal pain and bloody diarrhoea if they eat the houmous.
The Shiga toxin-producing E.coli could also cause haemolytic uremic syndrome – a serious condition that can lead to kidney failure and can be fatal.
Sainsbury’s has also pulled a £4 homeware item from the shelves and warned shoppers not to throw it away.
The supermarket chain recalled the accessory because it is dangerous for humans and animals.
More recently, a brand of popular children’s sweets was pulled from shelves over fears it could contained additives banned in the UK.
Your product recall rights
Chief consumer reporter James Flanders reveals all you need to know.
Product recalls are an important means of protecting consumers from dangerous goods.
As a general rule, if a recall involves a branded product, the manufacturer would usually have lead responsibility for the recall action.
But it’s often left up to supermarkets to notify customers when products could put them at risk.
If you are concerned about the safety of a product you own, always check the manufacturer’s website to see if a safety notice has been issued.
When it comes to appliances, rather than just food items, the onus is usually on you – the customer – to register the appliance with the manufacturer as if you don’t there is no way of contacting you to tell you about a fault.
If you become aware that an item you own has been recalled or has any safety noticed issued against it, make sure you follow the instructions given to you by the manufacturer.
They should usually provide you with more information and a contact number on its safety notice.
In some cases, the manufacturer might ask you to return the item for a full refund or arrange for the faulty product to be collected.
You should not be charged for any recall work – such as a repair, replacement or collection of the recalled item
