Disaronno

Affected lines were “unsafe to drink”, the FSA said.

Disaronno has issued a recall for bottles of its Originale liqueur over the possible presence of glass.

In a notice published on its website, The Food Standards Agency said it was possible that some “small pieces of glass” could be found within some bottles of Disaronno Originale on sale in the UK.

This would make the affected products “unsafe to drink” it added.

Affected lines feature batch codes 25374, 25375, 25381, 25382, 25435, 25442 and 25444 on the back of bottle.

Customers that had purchased a product with one of these codes should not consume it and instead return it to the point of purchase for a refund, the FSA said.

Point of sale notices would also be displayed in all retail stores that are selling the affected products, it added.

An “anomaly on a bottling line” had resulted in the possible presence of “micro-fragments of glass” in some units, Disaronno owner Ilva Saronno said. 

A similar recall was issued by the supplier in the Republic of Ireland on Monday.

The Grocer has approached Ilva Saronno for further comment.
