Dalston Soda Company Recalls Specific Batch of Pineapple Soda Cans Due to Packaging Defect

Dalston Soda Company is recalling some cans and four-can multipacks of its Pineapple Soda after a packaging defect was identified. The Food Standards Agency announced the recall on Friday. The agency stated there is a risk that the cans may unexpectedly break apart and leave sharp edges which may cause injury.

The company described the cause of the problem as a packaging defect. People who have bought the affected cans have been told not to drink them and to throw them away. To safely dispose of the product, customers should handle the cans as little as possible, place them carefully, upright, in a sealed bag and dispose of them with household waste.

Customers should not return the cans to shops. Anyone who had bought the affected products could get a full refund by contacting the company, even if they no longer had a receipt. Cans under the recall have a best before date of 4 August 2027.

The single cans have a batch code of 037130. No other Dalston's products have been affected. The soda brand was created by chefs in the since-closed Passing Clouds nightclub in Dalston, east London.

The product is stocked in several supermarkets, certain pub chains and some attractions in London. The product is sold in Waitrose and Asda. In 2023, presenter Jeremy Clarkson recalled some batches of his Hawkstone cider bottles.

In 2024, craft ale company Brew York recalled cans of its Juice Forsyth IPA.
