Four batches of a Rubicon drink have been recalled over undeclared sulphites.
AG Barr is recalling 1-litre cartons of Rubicon Yuzu & Pink Grapefruit because they may contain sulphites not mentioned on the label, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said.
The FSA warned that the product could pose a health risk to people sensitive to sulphur dioxide or sulphites.
Anyone with either sensitivity who has bought an affected carton should not drink it and should return it to the shop where they bought it for a full refund.

Walkers Crisp recall
A Walkers snack sharing box is being recalled over undeclared wheat.
PepsiCo is recalling its Walkers Variety Snacks Sharing Box after wheat was left off the outer packaging, creating a possible risk for some people with allergies or coeliac disease.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) says the affected boxes have best-before dates of November 21, 2026, or January 16, 2027.
The alert applies to crisps sold in England, Scotland and Wales.
The problem concerns an 85g packet of Monster Munch Giants Roast Beef inside the box, which contains wheat and gluten not declared on the outside of the sharing box.
The FSA said: "This product contains gluten making it a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten, or with coeliac disease."
Affected boxes weigh 655g and contain six packs of snacks.
The batch code to look for on the affected boxes is 107543.
Anyone who has bought an affected box and has an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten, or has coeliac disease, is advised not to eat it.
Instead, the FSA says customers can call the PepsiCo Consumer Care Line on 0800 274 777 or visit contact.pepsico.com/walkers to receive a full refund.
PepsiCo has issued a point-of-sale notice explaining the recall and what customers should do.
The NHS says a food allergy is different from a food intolerance and that allergic reactions can be serious for some people.
It advises calling 999 if, for example, someone's lips, mouth, throat or tongue suddenly swell, or they are struggling to breathe.
If someone having a serious allergic reaction has an adrenaline auto-injector or nasal spray, the NHS says to use it immediately and call 999 even if they seem to be feeling better.
Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition in which eating gluten causes the immune system to attack the body's own tissues, damaging the small intestine, the NHS says.
Symptoms can include diarrhoea, abdominal pain and bloating, and a gluten-free diet helps control symptoms and prevent long-term complications.
What is a product recall?
The FSA explains that a food may be withdrawn from sale when there is a problem that means it should not be sold.
A recall is when customers are asked to return the product, rather than it simply being taken off shelves.
Food can be withdrawn or recalled because allergy information is missing or incorrect, or because there is another food allergy risk.
When there is a food allergy risk, the agency issues an allergy alert.
