AADE is advising consumers not to consume STRAWBAR ORIGIN strawberry spirit, batch 003, in an announcement dated 26 October 2026. The General Chemical State Laboratory is recalling the batch after a laboratory sample was found unsafe because its methanol concentration exceeded the category’s maximum limit.

  • Trade name: STRAWBAR ORIGIN.
  • Alcohol content: 40% vol.
  • Bottle size: 50 cl.
  • Batch marking: 003.
