3 July – Cott Beverages has initiated a recall of one batch of its Emerge Isotonic Orange Flavour Sports Drink over concerns that the products may be contaminated with small pieces of plastic.
The recall applies the 500ml bottles of the beverage with the ‘best before’ date December 2012.
“As a precautionary measure, the above mentioned batch of Emerge Isotonic Orange Flavour Sports Drink is being withdrawn. There is a slight risk that a small number of bottles within the affected batch may contain small fragments of hard plastic,” said a product withdrawal notice.
