Guinness is urgently recalling its new non-alcoholic stout - here’s why
Guinness has issued a recall of its new alcohol-free stout, called Guinness 0.0, due to a “microbiological contamination” which may make some cans “unsafe to consume.”
The contamination reportedly occurred during the production process, and Guinness has stated that it is “working hard to investigate and determine the root cause.”
