Food Standards recalls three vermouths on ‘undeclared allergen’

The food safety watchdog has warned that the drinks could pose a risk to some drinkers.

Australia’s food safety watchdog has urgently recalled three popular drinks, warning they could pose a health risk to some drinkers.

Hills Distillery is recalling its 750ml 78 Degrees Rosso vermouth, 750ml 78 Degrees dry vermouth and 750ml 78 Degrees rosé vermouth because of the presence of an undeclared sulfite allergen.

“Any consumers who have a sulfites allergy or intolerance may have a reaction if the product is consumed,” the watchdog states.

The recall only applies to products that have not declared the allergen.

Drinkers with the allergy who purchased the wines are advised to contact Hills Distillery on 02 5133 7007 for a full refund.

The wines have been sold nationally at independent liquor stores and Dan Murphy’s in NSW, South Australia and Victoria and at BWS in South Australia.
