From Angry Orchard: We have identified two batches of Angry Orchard Crisp Apple that appear to be showing signs of refermentation in the bottle, and which we want to voluntarily recall. This could result in increased carbonation levels in the cider, and in some instances, bottles may overflow when opened or burst under increased pressure, especially if they have not been stored in a cooler or fridge. The cider poses no health risk, but it does not meet our high quality standards and our priority is ensuring that you have the best drinking experience possible.
In order to identify if you have Angry Orchard Crisp Apple that might be impacted:
For a case or 12-pack: look for the “Freshness Matters” code printed on the top or side panel. If that code begins with “June 2016 1665C” and is immediately followed by 4 digits between the range of 0001 through 0700 OR “June 2016 1805C” and is immediately followed by 4 digits between 0001 through 0545, those bottles may have been impacted.
For an individual bottle (please use extreme care when handling): look for the inkjet code printed directly on the glass on the “shoulder” of the bottle just below the neck label. If that code begins with “C1665” immediately followed by 4 digits between 0001 through 0530 OR “C1805″ immediately followed by 4 digits between 0001 through 0415, that cider may have been impacted.
If you have any bottles of this cider, please use extreme care and dispose of the product right away in an outside container. Then contact us for a full refund using our Contact Us” form.
Angry Orchard is a hard cider company located in Cincinnati, Ohio and is owned by the Boston Beer Company. It makes hard cider using apples from Europe and the United States.
