Otherwise and if you have already uncapped one of your beer bottles, you should be vigilant for the main symptoms that could occur. On Consumption reminderwe discuss possible “nausea”, “abdominal pain”, “dizziness” and even “vomitings”.

This is not the first time that the government is concerned and has banned the sale of different beers in France. As recently as February, Hinano beers were recalled due to presence of an allergen not declared on the label, with the serious consequences that can result. Same for beers from the Tabu and Manuia brands! At the end of 2023, Krups brand beer taps were questioned due to the malfunction of an electronic component likely to cause external injuries.
