Attention all vodka lovers! It has come to our attention that there has been a recent increase in counterfeit Glen's Vodka being sold on the market. This is not your typical fake designer handbag situation, as the consequences of consuming this counterfeit vodka can be deadly.
The Food Standards Agency has issued a warning to the public about these fake bottles, which contain a dangerous chemical called isopropyl alcohol. This chemical is typically used as an industrial solvent and is not safe for human consumption. Ingesting isopropyl alcohol can lead to alcohol poisoning, and in severe cases, it can even be fatal.
If you've purchased a bottle of Glen's Vodka recently, please take a moment to check for any signs of counterfeiting. The FSA has made it clear that the counterfeit bottles may have a strong smell and taste different from the genuine product. They have also provided images of the bottle, highlighting the lack of a laser-etched lot code between the rear label and the base of the bottle, as an indicator of a counterfeit product.
This warning specifically affects the 35cl bottle size, and local authorities have been asked to visit businesses in their area to inspect for these fake bottles. The FSA has released a statement, urging anyone who has purchased a bottle of Glen's Vodka without the laser-etched lot code to take action.
In the case that you do come across a bottle of this counterfeit vodka, please be aware of the strong odor that isopropyl alcohol emits. If you detect this smell, do not consume the vodka. Instead, store it in a safe place and immediately report it to your local authority for further instructions and advice.
We want to protect the public from the potential dangers of consuming this counterfeit vodka. If you have any information regarding the production or sale of these fake bottles, please do not hesitate to contact the National Food Crime Unit hotline, where your call will be kept confidential.
We cannot stress enough that isopropyl alcohol is toxic and not meant for human consumption. The symptoms of ingesting this chemical include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, intoxication, respiratory depression, and coma. In severe cases, it can even lead to heart attacks or other cardiovascular issues. If you or anyone you know experiences these symptoms after consuming Glen's Vodka, please seek immediate medical attention.
Let's work together to keep our communities safe from these dangerous counterfeit products. Remember to always purchase from reputable sources and be vigilant in checking for any signs of counterfeiting. Stay safe, and enjoy your drinks responsibly!
