TOPCO voluntarily recalls unsweetened orange juice after complaints 

See below the full release issued by Demerara Distillers Limited: 

TOPCO (a member of the Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) group of companies) has initiated a voluntary recall of specific batches of the TOPCO 1L Unsweetened Orange Juice. This action follows consumer feedback, received last week, indicating a deviation in the standard sensory profile (both aroma and taste) in some Unsweetened Orange juice products.

Based on these consumer reports, tests were conducted, and a decision was made to recall from the trade all TOPCO 1L Unsweetened Orange Juice recently produced in Batches 1, 2, and 3. This recall was issued on Wednesday, April 16, 2025.

Our tests have confirmed that, of the entire TOPCO 1L range, only the Unsweetened Orange Juice product has been affected. Our Quality Assurance and Production teams are working diligently with the equipment manufacturer and other specialists to conduct a comprehensive review of our supply chain and workflow, aiming to pinpoint the root cause of this isolated issue.

We urge consumers who have purchased TOPCO 1L Unsweetened Orange Juice from the identified batches to return the product to their place of purchase for a full refund.

TOPCO assures all consumers that we remain committed to the highest standards for quality and food safety.

We thank our customers for their vigilance and for reporting the matter, allowing us the opportunity for a swift response. Your trust is important to us, and we are working to maintain it.

In the meantime, all other TOPCO Juice products are available for purchase and remain unaffected
