Popular Rubicon drink flavour recalled over undeclared allergen
The drinks may pose a health risk to people with a sensitivity to sulphur dioxide and/or sulphites.
A popular Rubicon drink has been recalled over concerns it may contain an undeclared allergen that could pose a health risk to some consumers.
AG Barr is recalling Rubicon Yuzu & Pink Grapefruit 1L cartons because they may contain sulphites which are not mentioned on the label.
Sulphites can pose a health risk to people with a sensitivity to sulphur dioxide and/or sulphites, the Food Standards Agency said.
The affected products have four different batch codes and best-before dates.

AG Barr is recalling the affected cartons and has been advised to contact relevant allergy support organisations to inform their members.
Point-of-sale notices will also be displayed in shops selling the product, explaining the reason for the recall and advising customers what to do if they have purchased it.
The FSA is advising anyone who has bought the affected drink and has a sensitivity to sulphur dioxide or sulphites not to consume it.
Instead, customers should return the product to the shop where they bought it for a full refund.
