Guinness recalls alcohol-free stout over contamination fears
Guinness is recalling cans of its alcohol-free Guinness 0.0 stout in the UK due to a microbiological contamination which may make affected cans unsafe to drink.
In a press statement, Guinness didn't elaborate on the nature of the contamination and referred to the recall as a 'precautionary measure'.
The alcohol-free Guinness was launched just two weeks ago. Here's what we thought when we blind tasted Guinness 0.0.
Which Guinness drinks have been affected?
Guinness has clarified that the only affected drinks are cans of the recently launched Guinness 0.0 alcohol-free stout. None of Guinness' other drinks are affected.
