A festive alcoholic drink sold in supermarkets across the UK has been urgently recalled over fears of glass inside.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) warned consumers about the possibility of glass inside 700ml bottles of Disaronno Originale.
Several batches of the drink, produced by Illva Saronno S.p.A, were affected by the recall.
In the notice, issued on Tuesday, the FSA said: ‘Illva Saronno S.p.A is recalling Disaronno Originale because of the possible presence of small pieces of glass within some bottles of product, which could make it unsafe to drink.’
