Tesco shoppers asked to throw out a type of beer that could 'swell and potentially burst'

A warning has been issued to Tesco customers over a type of beer that has been recalled due to "fermentation" that can cause the cans to "swell and potentially burst".

A Tesco notice said: "Vocation Brewery has recalled all batch codes of its Vocation Lower Altitude Table Beer 4 x 330ml". All best before dates are affected."

Anyone who has bought the cans is advised "pleased don't drink it" and is instead asked to take a photo of the product before "disposing of them safely". You can then show the photo to a store employee at a customer services desk in Tesco to receive a full refund, and no receipt is required.

Shoppers who would like more information, are asked to contact Vocation Brewery at hello@vocationbrewery.com or by phone on 01422 410810, reports Liverpool Echo.

Tesco has also recalled other items in recent days. The supermarket has taken some of its own brand Omega 3 capsules off its shelves as they "contain raised levels of glycidol, which are above the permitted legal limit".

Advice on its website said: "This shouldn’t affect your health, if you’ve been following the dosage advice. However, if you’ve used the product very recently and feel unwell, we recommend you consult your GP. If you’ve bought an affected product, please don’t use it. Instead, return it to a Tesco store for a refund. No receipt is required."

The affected batches are Tesco Health Omega 3 Fish Oil 30, 90 and 240 capsules, with a best before date up to and including 04/2025.

Tesco's own brand Mixed Fruit and Nut has also been pulled from shelves due to an allergen that isn't specified within its ingredients list. The snack may contain milk which, it said, is not declared on the packaging.

All batch codes and all best before dates are impacted, and anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk is urged not to eat the product. You can instead return it to store for a full refund, and you don't need a receipt.
