The bottles that are included in the recall are 550ml in size and have a best before date of November 30, 2025 – here is everything you need to know
Heineken UK has recalled bottles of its Newcastle Brown Ale over fears they could contain shards of glass.
The bottles that are included in the recall are 550ml in size and have a best before date of November 30, 2025. The batch codes to look out for are: L4321, L4322, L4323, L4324, L4325, L4326. If you have bought a bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale and it matches the details above, do not drink it – return it to the store where you purchased it from for a full refund.
No other best before dates or batch numbers are included in the recall. Newcastle Brown Ale is sold in major supermarkets including Aldi, Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons. A product description describes it as having “a distinctive light cereal character described as whole grain, toffee and chocolate”.
Heineken UK said: “Safety is our top priority, and on the basis that a small number of bottles are impacted by this potential safety issue, we are recalling this run of glass bottles of Newcastle Brown Ale as a precaution. We urge those consumers in possession of the product not to drink it, but to return the unopened bottles to where they purchased them for a refund.
“We ask any customers to immediately halt the sale of any stock they hold with these batch numbers. We are providing customers guidance on how to register and return affected stock and ask them to contact our Customer Care team with any additional queries. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and are working with the regulatory authorities after alerting them of the matter.”
