Utah’s Uinta Brewing recalls nearly a dozen brands of beer after finding yeast contamination

A longtime Utah craft brewer has issued a voluntary recall of nearly a dozen of its beer brands after discovering a foreign yeast that could cause refermentation in their 12-ounce bottles or cans and compromise the packaging.

Uinta Brewing Co. said in a news release that consumers face no risks from drinking the affected beers, “although a batch may exhibit a slight off-flavor or aroma.”

The company said it has received no reports of packaging failures with the beers under recall.

“While a majority of the beer in question has yet to even see retail shelves, we take quality and consumer safety extremely seriously,” Uinta CEO John Lennon said in the release.
