Stella Artois has announced a voluntary recall of select 11.2-ounce bottles of the brand’s beer after finding that they may contain particles of glass. The recall applies to Stella Artois six-, 12-, 18-, and 24-packs as well “Best of Belgium” multi-packs and Stella Artois Légère 6- and 12-packs.
Because of a packaging flaw in some 11.2-ounce bottles, glass can break off and possibly fall into the beer. Anheuser-Busch, the company that owns Stella Artois, says that the recall impacts less that 1% of Stella Artois glass bottles sold in North America annually, and the number of bottles that are actually affected will be far less than this.
“The safety of our consumers is our top priority. While the number of potentially-affected glass bottles is very small, we are recalling these Stella Artois packages as a precautionary measure,” said Christina Choi, Global Brand VP, Stella Artois in a statement on the company’s website.

Stella Artois is working to remove all potentially-affected packages from retail shelves. If you have purchased affected bottles, you should not consume them. Visit stellaartois.expertinquiry.com or call 1-855-215-5824 for more information on how to receive a refund.
