Bottled beer recalled over glass contamination fears

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.
