Urgent recalls: Prune juice found in major supermarkets and Volkswagen Caddy vans are being pulled out due to health and safety concerns
- Replies 9
Bottles of Sunraysia Prune Juice, a popular drink found in major retailers, and Volkswagen Caddy van models are being recalled nationwide.
The move to pull out the products from both companies is due to serious health risks and hazards it poses for consumers.
One of the products in question is the Sunraysia Prune Juice 1L, with a best before date of December 4, 2025. If you have this product in your pantry, it's time to take action.
The recall was initiated due to unintended fermentation, a process that can occur when naturally occurring yeasts in the juice convert sugars into alcohol.
The presence of alcohol in a product marketed as a non-alcoholic health drink raises serious concerns, particularly for children or for those who abstain from alcohol for health, religious, or personal reasons.
This discovery has led to a widespread recall, affecting major supermarket chains Coles and Woolworths across New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, and Western Australia.
Food Standards Australia New Zealand has issued a stern warning to consumers, urging them not to consume the product and to keep it out of the reach of children.
You can return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund. For more information, you can contact the company using this number: 1800 667 765 or through their email here.
Meanwhile, Volkswagen Australia has also issued an urgent recall for 1,870 units of its 2021-2023 Volkswagen Caddy vans due to a potentially life-threatening safety issue.
The recall notice, lodged with the Department of Infrastructure, stated: 'An airbag deactivation switch may have been incorrectly fitted instead of a blanking plug.’
‘This could cause the driver to assume that the front passenger airbag has been deactivated when it is always operational.’
The recall notice continued: ‘If the driver believes the passenger front airbag has been deactivated, it may lead to an unsafe situation if something such as a child seat was used in the front passenger seat.'
Volkswagen Australia is urging owners of the affected vehicles to contact their preferred Volkswagen dealership to schedule an appointment for a free inspection and rectification of the issue.
The company has also provided a full list of vehicle identification numbers for the 1,870 vehicles involved in the recall, which can be found here.
In addition to reaching out to dealerships, owners can also contact Volkswagen Australia directly for more information. The company can be reached by phone on 1800 504 076 or via email at [email protected].
