Beverage manufacturer Refresco recalls apple spritzers
The beverage manufacturer Refresco is recalling certain apple shrubs nationwide in Germany due to bottles reportedly having too much pressure and potentially bursting. It cannot be ruled out that some bottles may have been contaminated with yeast, which in turn could have led to pressure build-up in the 0.5 liter and 1.5 liter plastic bottles, Refresco Deutschland GmbH in Mönchengladbach stated. This poses a risk of injury under unfavorable conditions.
The apple shrubs are sold under the labels "Gut + Günstig" at Edeka and "StarDrink" at Netto. The minimum shelf life for various flavors expires at the end of November or in December.
"Bottles that are bloated and have cloudiness in their contents should not be opened but should be disposed of carefully instead," the company advises. "Optically unremarkable bottles with the stated minimum shelf life dates should also be cautiously avoided for consumption and disposed of." Customers who have already purchased such bottles are reportedly entitled to a refund at the point of purchase without a receipt.
The recalled apple shrubs by Refresco include Apple spritzers, which mightContains traces of yeasts due to potential bottle contamination. As a precaution, the beverage producer suggests avoiding both bloated bottles with noticeable changes and optically normal ones with the stated expiry dates, recommending disposal or a refund.
