A quiet concern has rippled through stores across England, Scotland, and Wales. Bottles of Waitrose No1 Deeside water, sourced from the pristine springs of the Cairngorms national park in northern Scotland, are being urgently recalled.
The reason is unsettling: the potential presence of glass fragments within the 750ml bottles. Authorities have determined that opening these bottles could pose a risk of injury, rendering the water unsafe for consumption.
This isn’t a widespread issue, but a focused recall targeting specific batch codes. The affected Deeside mineral water carries best before dates of November and December 2027, specifically codes NOV 2027 28, DEC 2027 01, DEC 2027 02, DEC 2027 10, DEC 2027 11, and DEC 2027 16.
For those who purchased the sparkling variety, the concern centers on bottles with a December 2027 best before date and batch codes DEC 2027 01, DEC 2027 03, DEC 2027 12, DEC 2027 15, and DEC 2027 25. Careful examination of the bottle’s label is crucial.
If you have purchased any of these bottles, a full refund is being offered. Returning the product to the point of purchase is the recommended course of action, ensuring your safety and peace of mind.
The water itself originates from a remote and beautiful location, a natural spring celebrated for its purity. This recall is a precautionary measure to uphold the highest standards of safety for consumers.
