Guinness is recalling cans of its non-alcoholic stout because of contamination fears, just two weeks after they were launched.<\/p>\n

The brewer described the recall as \u201cprecautionary\u201d, but said \u201cmicrobiological contamination\u201d might mean some products were unsafe.<\/p>\n

The company urged anyone with cans of Guinness 0.0 not to drink them.<\/p>\n

It said it was working with supermarkets and other shops to remove all of the products from the shelves.<\/p>\n

The recall only affects customers in Great Britain, as the product was not yet on sale in Ireland or Northern Ireland. No other Guinness drinks have been recalled.<\/p>\n

Guinness 0.0 was launched to much fanfare in supermarkets on 26 October, having taken the brewer four years to perfect.<\/p>\n

In a statement<\/a>, the brand, which is owned by Diageo, apologised to customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to let you know that as a precautionary measure, we are recalling Guinness 0.0 in Great Britain because of a microbiological contamination which may make some cans of Guinness 0.0 unsafe to consume.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you have bought Guinness 0.0 do not consume it. Instead, please return the product to your point of purchase for a full refund.<\/p>

\u201cAlternatively, contact the Diageo Consumer Careline\u2026 with details of your purchase to receive a refund voucher before disposing of the product.\u201d<\/p>\n

On its website, the brewery also says its team is \u201cworking hard to investigate and determine the root cause\u201d of the contamination.<\/p>\n

Several concerned social media users called on the firm to issue further information on the type of contamination as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

The new stout was created in response to what Guinness said was growing consumer demand for lower-calorie and non-alcoholic drinks.<\/p>\n

It is produced with the same amounts of water, barley, hops and yeast as a traditional Guinness, before the alcohol is removed using a cold filtration method.<\/p>\n

At the time of launch, Guinness bosses insisted that none of the traditional flavour had been lost, with the seal of approval being given by independent taste testers.<\/p>\n

BBC reports that the new product was due to become available on draught in pubs next spring, before being launched in other parts of the world later in 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
