All bottles of Fruit Shoot which feature a new cap design are being recalled because of a “packaging safety issue”, manufacturer Britvic said, writes Mike Berry.
The popular children’s drink, which is stocked by swathes of pubs and licensed retailers across the UK, and spin-off Fruit Shoot Hydro, have recently been relaunched a new bottle design and spill proof “magicap”. However they are both being recalled in what Britvic is calling a “precautionary measure”.
“Britvic Soft Drinks is recalling all Robinsons Fruit Shoot and Fruit Shoot Hydro packs, featuring the new design cap, due to a packaging safety issue,” the company said in a product recall notice.
Britvic said it was running adverts in national newspapers advising customers of the recall, but is not year clear what action trade customers should take.
Customers are being advised to call the company’s consumer care line on 0800 0321767.
According to the Britvic website, Robinsons Fruit Shoot ‘’is the number one selling children’s FMCG (fast-moving consumer goods) brand, worth £96m’’.
No other Robinsons products are affected.
