Guinness has announced a "precautionary" recall of its recently launched non-alcoholic stout in Great Britain amid concerns of microbiological contamination in some cans.

A statement said: "We wanted to let you know that as a precautionary measure we are recalling Guinness 0.0 in Great Britain because of a microbiological contamination which may make some cans of Guinness 0.0 unsafe to consume.

"If you have bought Guinness 0.0 do not consume it.

"Instead, please return the product to your point of purchase for a full refund.

"Alternatively, contact the Diageo Consumer Careline on  consumercare.gbandireland@diageo.com  or 0345 601 4558 with details of your purchase to receive a refund voucher before disposing of the product.

"We are sorry that this has happened."
