Consumers should not drink the content
According to the company, complaints and inspections indicate that some bottles were contaminated with yeast during bottling. These yeasts could cause a fermentation process, which in turn could lead to pressure build-up in the bottle. The bottles can deform. When opening, the drink can spurt out through the escaping pressure. Consumers are advised not to open visually conspicuous bottles and not to drink the contents. The affected products can be returned in the respective stores for a refund of the purchase price.

Explosion hazard due to fermentation processes
Due to errors in the manufacturing processes, foreign objects or contaminants in food can occur again and again. In the past, drinks had to be recalled more often because of possible fermentation processes. For example, a few years ago Bionade was recalled because some batches might have been leaking yeast cells. And Black Forest Sprudel once took back products, because a risk of explosion could not be ruled out with beverage bottles. (Ad)
