Overview
- Cofepris issued the alert Tuesday after sanitary checks and a comparecencia with Casa Cuervo identified irregularities in Gran Centenario Añejo, specifying the notice applies only to lot L 061 24 in the 950 mL presentation.
- The agency said the suspect bottles were sold on online platforms and do not meet the NOM-142-SSA/SCFI-2014 standards because their ingredients and production conditions are unknown, creating a potential health hazard.
- Cofepris listed two visible authenticity defects to spot the falsified product: the front label lacks the usual embossed relief and the cap shows signs of detachment.
- Consumers are advised not to buy bottles matching that lot and to inspect labels, the SAT fiscal marbete or QR code, seals, caps and bottle condition before purchasing; distributors must keep invoices and report suspicious stock.
- Authorities say investigations and sanitary surveillance will continue and no confirmed hospitalizations linked to this lot have been reported so far.
