Tesco urges customers to throw out Vocation beer which could 'swell and burst'

Tesco customers are being warned a certain brand of beer could "swell and burst". Those who bought the product are being asked to dispose of the beer carefully.

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.

Customers who purchased the cans have been advised to avoid it, with Tesco saying "please don't drink it". Instead the supermarket has urged people to take a photo before "disposing of them safely".

Purchasers 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, according to Liverpool Echo. Tesco has also recalled other items in recent days.

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