Vimto Recall Sparks Sugar Label Chaos
Vimto is in hot water after a major labelling blunder put shoppers at risk. Thousands of bottles were wrongly stamped with ‘No Added Sugar’, causing alarm, especially for diabetics and those counting every gram of sugar.
Nichols plc Races to Recall Mislabeled Bottles
The soft drink’s parent company, Nichols plc, launched an urgent recall to nip the problem in the bud. This safety move aims to stop anyone accidentally consuming added sugar from the affected bottles.
Check Your Vimto! These Batch Codes Are Problematic
The culprit is a packaging error hitting a specific range from the ‘1 The Taste’ campaign. If you have bottles with these batch codes, beware:
- OCT 24 4050
- OCT 24 4051
- OCT 24 4052
- NOV 24 4072
- NOV 24 4073
- NOV 24 4074
These codes are printed on the side or shoulder of the bottles. Spot one? Don’t take chances.
Food Standards Agency Warns: Labels Lie, Sugar Hidden
Though labelled as ‘No Added Sugar’, these Vimto bottles do contain added sugar,” said a Food Standards Agency spokesperson. “This poses a serious risk for those who rely on accurate labelling for their health.”
Consumers are urged to contact Nichols plc immediately if they own any affected bottles. Call 01925 222 222 or email [email protected] for advice and returns. Nichols plc promises swift action to put safety first.
Until the recall wraps up, buyers should stay alert and double-check any Vimto products, especially those from the ‘Love The Taste’ collection, to avoid unwanted sugar surprises and protect their health.
