Dalston's Pineapple Soda Recalled Because the Cans May Burst

June 5, 2026
FSA-PRIN-27-2026

Forget the soda. The danger here is the can. Dalston's is recalling its Pineapple Soda because the cans may break apart without warning, turning a fizzy drink into an injury risk from sharp metal edges. If you've got these at home, the advice is unusually hands-off. Don't open them, don't fiddle with them, and whatever you do, don't lug them back to the shop.

What's Affected

  • Product: Dalston's Pineapple Soda
  • Pack size: 330ml single cans and 4x330ml multipacks
  • Batch codes: 037130 (single cans) and 037129 (multipacks)
  • Best before: 4 August 2027

The recall covers England and Scotland. Check the batch code printed on the can, or on the multipack wrapper, against the two numbers above before you do anything else.

What You Should Do

  • Don't open it. The hazard is that the can can break apart unexpectedly, leaving sharp edges that can cut you. Opening or shaking an affected can is exactly the kind of handling that could trigger it.
  • Avoid unnecessary handling. Unlike most recalls, you're not being asked to return this to the store. Dalston's wants these cans handled as little as possible, so move them carefully and don't pass them around the kitchen.
  • Bin it safely. Dispose of the affected cans in an external waste bin rather than taking them back to the shop. An outdoor bin keeps a sudden burst away from anyone in the house.
  • Want your money back? Contact Dalston's for a refund by emailing [email protected], calling 07495 169638, or visiting dalstons.com/pages/recall.

If you've already drunk a can with no problems, there's nothing to worry about, the risk is the can failing, not the soda itself.

Why a "Burst Can" Recall Is Different

Most recalls end with a trip to the customer service desk for a refund. This one deliberately doesn't, and that tells you something about the hazard. A can that may break apart is most dangerous when it's being moved, knocked, or opened, so a packaging-fault recall is safest when it asks you to handle the product less. Bag the cans up, drop them in an outdoor bin, and the risk leaves your home in a single step. Keep a few craft sodas in the cupboard or the fridge? Go and check the batch code now. For anything else that's been pulled from shelves, the FSA alerts page is the place to look.
