LONDON (Alliance News) - Carlton & United Breweries, an Australian subsidiary of London-listed brewer SABMiller PLC, has recalled a batch of its Carlton Dry lager amid reports glass had been found in a batch of the beers.
The company did not provide any information on the exact nature of the problem which has caused the recall. It said: "There may be an issue with one batch of stock as a result of packaging the product."
A Reuters report, however, said the recall totalled more than a million bottles of Carlton Dry, providing a setback for the company ahead of the key holiday season. A spokeswoman for Carlton told Reuters the company had alerted food safety authorities after customers complained of suspected traces of glass in their beers.
SABMiller bought Carlton & United in 2011 as part of the USD12.0 billion takeover of Australian brewer Fosters.
