    Waitrose recalls No1 Royal Deeside Mineral Water over glass fragment fears

    Recall announced

    In early 2026, Waitrose recalled certain 750ml bottles of No1 Royal Deeside Mineral Water, including a sparkling version of the product, after the Food Standards Agency warned that the bottles might contain glass fragments upon opening and that these could cause injury. Customers were advised not to drink the affected products and to return them to a Waitrose store, where a full refund would be given. The recall applied to the affected 750ml bottles of the still and sparkling water.
