Disaronno has issued an urgent recall of its 700ml bottles in the UK following concerns that some products may contain shards of glass. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) announced the recall on March 5, 2024, highlighting that the affected bottles were sold in England and Scotland.
The recall is linked to an issue on the production line, which may have led to the presence of small glass fragments within certain bottles. Illva Saronno, the parent company of Disaronno, stated that seven batches of the product have been identified as potentially unsafe. Customers are strongly advised to check the codes located on the back of their bottles for the following batch numbers: 25374, 25375, 25381, 25382, 25435, 25442, 25444.
Safety Concerns Prompt Immediate Action
The FSA has urged anyone with a bottle from the affected batches not to consume the product and to return it to the place of purchase for a refund or replacement. This precautionary measure aims to ensure consumer safety in light of the potential health risk posed by the contaminated product.
In addition to the recall in the UK, a similar notice was issued for the Republic of Ireland on March 4, 2024. The Irish notice specifically mentioned the recall of limited edition bottles marked as Disaronno Originale 500 Years due to the possible presence of micro-fragments of glass. The relevant batch codes for the Irish recall are 25371 and 25372.
Consumer Guidance and Support
Consumers who have purchased the impacted products are encouraged to contact Illva Saronno S.p.A. for further information. The company can be reached via email at [email protected].
Recall notices will be displayed at points of sale to inform customers of the situation. The swift response from the FSA and Illva Saronno reflects the seriousness of the issue and the commitment to ensuring public safety during the holiday season.
As the festive period approaches, consumers are reminded to remain vigilant about product recalls and to check the packaging of items purchased, particularly those intended for celebrations. This incident underscores the importance of product safety in the food and beverage industry.
