Alert on beer suspected of containing glass particles
*****************************************************

    The Centre for Food Safety (CFS) today (April 9) advised people not to drink a certain batch of Boston Beer Company's "Samuel Adams" beer from the USA as they might contain glass particles.

    The CFS also appealed to the trade to stop selling the affected product.

    The affected batch of the product is embossed with the digits "N35" followed by the letters "OI" on the edge of the bottle.

    "The appeal was made as the company is recalling the affected products," a CFS spokesman said.

    "The CFS has contacted the US authorities for more information. We have alerted the trade and are closely monitoring the situation."
