Robinson's Fruit Shoots urgently recalled from retailers due to 'safety risk'

Robinson's Fruit Shoots sold in McDonald's, Tesco and Costco are being urgently recalled due to a "safety risk".

Some of Britvic PLC's Apple and Blackcurrant flavoured juice drinks are being recalled because of a problem with the bottle's packaging.

The spout within the sports bottle cap may become detached unexpectedly, according to Leicestershire Live .

Blackcurrant and Apple Fruit Shoots bought in McDonald's between June 22 and June 28 are affected by the recall.

The fast food giant said the "quality of the liquid" was not affected by the packaging fault.

McDonald's recall notice says: "We were made aware of a packaging fault affecting the white drinking spout on a very small number of Fruit Shoot bottles and we therefore decided to remove it from our premises and are currently awaiting new stock.

"If you have consumed the product there is no need to take any further action as the quality of the liquid is not impacted."

Which ones are affected?

The products affected are:

  • 24 x 200ml multi-pack sold in Tesco and Costco
  • 200ml single bottle sold in McDonald's

With any of these batch numbers:

  • NO5 L9164
  • NO5 L9171
  • NO6 L9171

And with a best before date of  March 2020.

No other Britvic PLC products are known to be affected.

What should I do?

Food Standards Agency and Britvic PLC are advising customers not to drink the product.

Instead you should dispose of the drink safetly.

You can apply for a full refund via the Fruit Shoot customer care line on 0114 223 4488, or  online here.
