Overview
- Schöfferhofer Weizenbier GmbH launched a recall of its Schöfferhofer Weizen-Mix Grapefruit Alkoholfrei six-packs bearing the July-2026 best-before date following identification of a packaging fault.
- A disruption in the packing line potentially mixed bottles labeled “Alk. 2,5% vol.” with non-alcoholic cases despite correct labels on the individual bottles.
- Retail partners Rewe and Edeka have withdrawn all affected units from their shelves and are handling returns through in-store removal.
- Consumers are urged to inspect each bottle’s label before drinking and to return any impacted six-packs for a replacement or contact the company’s consumer service.
- The incident highlights the importance of EU labeling regulations in safeguarding vulnerable populations and preserving consumer trust.
