Drink product sold at Dan Murphy’s, BWS and Liquorland recalled over risk of exploding bottles
A non-alcohol grapefruit mixer sold nationwide at liquor stores and supermarkets has been recalled over “unintended fermentation” inside the bottle.
The pressure this can create inside the impacted bottles of Salted Grapefruit by Strangelove could lead them to explode and cause injury.
The process of fermentation also converts sugars into alcohol, which can additionally cause illness in consumers.
