AROUND THE NEK- The parent company that owns Corona Extra issued a voluntary recall of their 12 and 18 pack glass bottles after they found bits of glass in the beer. According to Constellation Brands Beer Division, select 12 and 18 packs of Corona Extra may contain small particles of glass.

The company says the recall is very limited in scope, as the potential bottles affected represent less than one tenth of one percent of Corona Extra 12 packs. This is equivalent to roughly 1 in 5,000 bottles.

By checking the labels on both the necks of the bottles and the cardboard packaging, interested consumers can see if their product is affected by viewing an 8 digit alphanumeric code.

Although this incident is separate and distinct, this is not the first time Constellation Brands has recalled Corona products. In 2014, the company issued a voluntary recall for their 6, 12, and 18 packs of 12 ounce bottles due to glass particles in the beer.

Bill Hackett, President of Constellation Beer Brands Division, was confident the issue would be resolved after the first incident in 2014.

According to Constellation Brands, "they are committed to keeping its product safe for all of their consumers."

On their website, Constellation Brands says they are working with all of their suppliers to make sure their beer is glass-particle free.
