Consumers are told to contact the brewer for safe disposal with reimbursement available.

Overview

  • The recall targets Loophole Brewing Co's Pacific Ale 5 litre party kegs linked to suspected secondary fermentation.
  • NSW Food Authority advises people not to drink or open the affected kegs and to dispose of them safely.
  • The product was sold at Costco stores in New South Wales, the ACT, Victoria and Western Australia.
  • Affected batches carry the date codes Pkd 13/10/25 BB 13/10/26 and Pkd 15/10/25 BB 15/10/26.
