More than 80,000 bottles of Rubicon sparkling mango drink have been recalled - over fears they might explode.

Soft drinks maker A. G. Barr - who also make Irn-Bru - said the product had become "unfit for human consumption".

In some cases the batch had started to show signs of fermentation - a process that converts sugar to acids, gases, or alcohol.

The company was unable to confirm reports that some of the product had already turned to alcohol.

It said the recall only affected two litre bottles of the mango drink.

The batches affected were manufactured in May and June 2016 and have a best-before date of February 2017 or March 2017

Bottles affected can be identified by four-digit codes visible on the neck, which the company confirmed as 6149, 6150, 6176 and 6177.

A statement on the Food Standards Scotland (FSS) website said: "This product is showing signs of fermentation and a possibility of an increased pressure.

"This may cause the bottle to burst. The presence of yeast has resulted in spoilage of the products, making it unfit for human consumption."

Anyone who has the affected product can contact the Rubicon consumer care team on rubiconconsumercare@agbarr.co.uk.
