Sainsbury’s recalls bottles of Blossom Cottage squash as gas build up could see it EXPLODE

BOTTLES of squash have been withdrawn from Sainsbury's shelves over fears they could explode.

Some batches of Blossom Cottage Morello Cherry Cordial sold at the supermarket giant could start fermenting and build up gas.

Customers have been warned not to open the 500ml glass bottles or drink the squash and bin it 'immediately'.

The cordial has a best before date July 2017 and affects batch numbers 200016203 and 223016203.

Customers are offered a full refund of £2.50 on the drink.

The drink manufacturers said: "Blossom Cottage apologises for any inconvenience caused and thanks you for your co-operation during this recall period."

A Sainsbury’s spokesperson said: "It has been brought to our attention that a limited number of bottles of the above product may be affected by a fermentation issue.

"As a precautionary measure, Blossom Cottage are asking all customers who have bought this product not to consume it and instead dispose of it immediately."

A spokesperson from the Food Standards Agency said: "Blossom Cottage is recalling a batch of its Morello Cherry Cordial 500ml bottles because fermentation has occurred in some of the bottles.

"The affected batch was sold in Sainsbury’s stores."
