Canadian authorities have recalled hundreds of bottles of Georgia Bay Vodka after inspectors found that the alcohol level was a whopping 81 percent, twice the amount stated on the label.<\/p>\n
The batch of 654 bottles were produced “before correct dilution to achieve the stated 40 percent alcohol content by volume,” the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said.<\/p>\n
“As a result, the affected batch has alcohol content by volume of 81 percent.”<\/p>\n
The statement added that there have been “no reported illnesses” linked to drinking the tainted vodka.<\/p>\n
The Liquor Control Board Of Ontario (LCBO) warned that the vodka “is not safe for consumption.”<\/p>\n
“Consuming a product with an alcohol content of 80 percent could cause serious illness,” it said, urging customers to return the bottles in question to any LCBO store for a full refund.<\/p>\n
In 2011 and 2015, vodka-based drinks were also recalled after Canadian authorities found bits of glass in some of the bottles.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
