Heineken
USA is issuing a voluntary product recall for 12–ounce bottles of Buckler
non-alcohol brew. The recall covers approximately 15,000 cases of product sold
to consumers since March 1, 2004.
It has been discovered that, due to a production error, a very
small percentage (less than 0.05%)of the Buckler product may contain an amount
of yeast that has not been removed through the normal pasteurization process.
The result of the excess yeast is a product which is cloudy in appearance and
which may, over time, contain slightly higher levels of alcohol than the normal
Buckler specification of less than 0.5% alcohol by volume.
Heineken USA asks any consumers who may have affected product to
call 1-800-HEINEKEN between the hours of 9 A.M. and 8 P.M. , Eastern, for
further direction.
Again, this recall only affects Buckler non-alcohol brew sold
since March 1, 2004 . No other company brands are impacted in any way.

apologizes for any inconvenience to its consumers and customers.
