Dalston Soda Company Recall: What You Need to Know

Dalston Soda's Pineapple Flavor Pulled Over Can Rupture Hazard

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) announced on Friday that Dalston Soda Company is recalling its Pineapple Soda due to a packaging defect that may cause cans to rupture unexpectedly. The defect can leave sharp edges, posing a risk of injury to consumers. The recall applies to single cans and four-can multipacks of the pineapple flavor, with best before dates of August 4, 2027.

"There is a risk that the cans may unexpectedly break apart and leave sharp edges which may cause injury," the FSA said in its alert.

The high-end brand, stocked in supermarkets such as Waitrose and Asda, identified the problem as a packaging defect. Only the pineapple flavor is affected; no other Dalston products are implicated.

Consumers Told to Dispose of Cans Without Touching Them Excessively

Customers who have purchased the affected cans are instructed not to drink the product. The company issued specific disposal guidelines to minimize risk. "To safely dispose of the product: handle the cans as little as possible, place them carefully, upright, in a sealed bag and dispose of them with your household waste," the notice said.

Consumers are urged not to return the cans to stores. Instead, they should contact Dalston Soda Company directly for a full refund, even without a receipt.

• Single cans: batch code 037130
• Multipacks: batch code 037129
• Best before date: 4 August 2027

Waitrose and Asda Among Retailers Selling the Recalled Soda

Dalston Soda, created by chefs from the now-closed Passing Clouds nightclub in Dalston, east London, is a premium fizzy drink brand. It is sold in Waitrose, Asda, certain pub chains, and London attractions. The recall is limited to the pineapple flavor. The company stressed that no other products are affected.

This is not the first carbonated drink recall due to explosion risk. In 2023, Jeremy Clarkson recalled batches of his Hawkstone cider after reports of glass bottles exploding. In 2024, Brew York recalled cans of Juice Forsyth IPA over similar concerns.
