A health warning advising people not to drink flavoured water produced a north-east firm has been issued as a “precaution”.
Food Standards Scotland is investigating macb, a company that manufactures the drink and other goods in Macduff, after customers complained about the smell and taste of their products.
However, the company denies any wrongdoing and claims there is no food safety issue with their water.
A spokeswoman for macb said: “We have been made aware of a quality issue relating to our macb Strawberry & Kiwi flavoured drink.
“We take our responsibility as a quality soft drink manufacturer very seriously and a full investigation is underway.
“Please be assured that whilst the drink may be unpleasant to taste this is not a food safety issue.”
“Please email our dedicated customer care team at customercare@cott.co.uk if you have any questions.”
