Bombay Sapphire gin recall expanded to all of Canada

Wednesday, May 03, 2017

Recall! The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is issuing a nation-wide recall warning for 1.14-litre bottles of Bombay Sapphire London Dry Gin.

The Crown corporation says the recall was initiated after an investigation by its quality assurance team found the gin’s alcohol content was 77 per cent, instead of the 40 per cent declared on the label.

The Liquor Control Board of Ontario was the first to remove the affected product from all of its stores.

The CFIA says the recalled gin should be thrown out or returned to the store where it was purchased.

There have been no reported illnesses associated with the gin.

The batch of Georgian Bay vodka was not properly diluted prior to bottling, resulting in 654 bottles containing 81 per cent alcohol instead of the 40 per cent stated on the label.
