Heineken UK issues recall because of risk of glass fragments
Heineken UK has recalled bottles of Newcastle Brown Ale because of an issue that may present a food safety risk to consumers.
After investigating three recent consumer complaints, instances have been found of glass fracturing at the opening of the bottles upon removing the steel tops. It is possible that fragments of glass can come away from the bottle, which could pose a risk of harm.
On confirming the defect with the company’s bottle supplier, the issue applies to certain 550ml glass bottles of Newcastle Brown Ale produced between Nov. 16 and 21 and sold in the UK with specific best before date and batch numbers.
The manufacturing issue affects certain Newcastle Brown Ale 550ml bottles with a best before date of Nov. 30, 2025. This applies to certain batch numbers, which can be found on the label at the back of the bottle. Affected batch numbers start with L4321, L4322, L4323, L4324, L4325, and L4326.
Heineken said it was recalling the product as a precaution. Batches before and after these production dates are not affected.
The recall impacts products sold via outlets such as supermarkets, convenience stores, and online retail, as well as locations such as pubs, bars, and restaurants which sell Newcastle Brown Ale in glass bottles.
A spokesperson for Heineken UK said: “Safety is our top priority, and on the basis that a small number of bottles are impacted by this potential safety issue, we are recalling this run of glass bottles of Newcastle Brown Ale as a precaution.
“We urge those consumers in possession of the product not to drink it, but to return the unopened bottles to where they purchased them for a refund. We ask any customers to immediately halt the sale of any stock they hold with these batch numbers. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and are working with the regulatory authorities after alerting them of the matter.”
