Kulmbacher Recalls Mönchshof Radler Over Alcohol-Free Labeling Error

The mix-up raises concerns for people who must avoid alcohol.

Overview

  • The brewery, which announced a recall Friday on Germany’s official food-safety portal, flagged 0.5 L bottles of Mönchshof Natur Radler Blutorange that could mislead buyers.
  • The error came from a 0.0% neck label being stuck on alcoholic bottles, while the back label correctly lists 2.5% alcohol by volume.
  • Affected units are batches B1 03:08, B1 03:09, and B1 03:10 with a best-before date of 28.01.2027, sold in Bavaria, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, and North Rhine-Westphalia.
  • People who do not or cannot drink alcohol should avoid these bottles, and unopened bottles can be returned for a refund, with no specific retailers named by the company.
  • Coverage on Saturday amplified the health stakes for pregnant people, novice drivers, and others, citing WHO and German data on alcohol-related harm.
