Brewery urges customers to ‘return or dispose’ of all cans in batch
In an email to customers, a Vault City Brewery spokesperson said: “In case you missed it, we're recalling all Mince Pie Sour beer cans because this batch contains milk and as such should be labelled with a clear allergen warning identifying milk as one of the ingredients.
“Unfortunately, this warning is absent from some of the can labels used.
“This beer MUST NOT be consumed by people with milk allergies as it poses a potential health risk.
“If you are unsure whether you have beer from this batch, these cans can be identified by the batch number ‘G840’ printed on the bottom of the cans.
“Please return or dispose of all cans.”
For returns, contact [email protected] and send the cans to Vault City Brewery, 2 James Hamilton Way, Pentland Science Park, EH26 0BF.
