Rubicon Still Blends Yuzu Pink Grapefruit in 1L bottles is being recalled after specific batches were found to potentially contain sulphur dioxide and sulphites that are not declared on the label. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) said the affected batches may be unsafe for people who are allergic to or intolerant of sulphur dioxide and sulphites.
Consumers who have purchased one of the listed batches should not drink it if they have an allergy or intolerance to the named allergen. The recall applies only to the batch numbers and best-before dates identified in the official FSAI food allergen alert.
Rubicon product recall Ireland: affected details
The alert was issued on Wednesday, 4 November 2026, under FSAI Allergy Alert Notification 2026.A30. The affected product is:
- Product: Rubicon Still Blends Yuzu Pink Grapefruit
- Pack size: 1L
- Allergen: Sulphur dioxide and sulphites

| Batch number | Best-before date |

| 6198 | July 2027 |
| 6219 | August 2027 |
| 6257 | September 2027 |
Only the 1L Rubicon Still Blends Yuzu Pink Grapefruit batches listed above are identified in the notice. Consumers should not assume that other pack sizes, flavours, batch numbers or date markings are included unless a later official update confirms this.
Why has the drink been recalled?
The specific batches may contain sulphur dioxide, which is not mentioned on the product label. Sulphur dioxide and sulphites are regulated allergens and can pose a risk to people who are allergic to or intolerant of them.
This is an undeclared allergen recall rather than a statement that every bottle is affected. The FSAI describes the issue as a possible presence, so the warning should not be interpreted as confirmation that sulphur dioxide is present in every bottle from the listed batches.
What consumers should do
People with an allergy or intolerance to sulphur dioxide and sulphites should not drink the affected product. Check the bottle carefully against both the batch number and the best-before date before consuming it.
- Do not drink the product if it matches one of the affected batches.
- Keep the bottle separate from other drinks while checking the details.
- Follow the retailer’s or supplier’s recall instructions for returning or disposing of it.
- If you have concerns after consuming the product, seek appropriate medical advice.
The official alert does not provide specific receipt or refund information in the supplied notice. Consumers should contact the shop where they purchased the drink for details about returns and refunds.
How to check whether your bottle is affected
Look for the batch identification printed on the bottle or its packaging and compare it with the official recall information. The affected batch numbers are 6160, 6198, 6219 and 6257, with best-before dates running from June to September 2027.
Both identifiers matter. A bottle should be treated as part of the alert only when its product, 1L pack size and batch information correspond with the details provided by the FSAI. If the code is unclear, do not rely on appearance alone; contact the retailer for clarification.
Who may be at risk?
The warning applies particularly to consumers who are allergic to or intolerant of sulphur dioxide and sulphites. People without that specific allergy or intolerance are not identified as the target group in the FSAI alert, but all consumers should still follow the official recall instructions and check the product details.
The alert does not report that anyone has become ill. It concerns the possible presence of an undeclared allergen in the listed batches, which is why those batches are being recalled.
