Customers have been urged not to drink a type of bottled water from Scotland as it could make them unwell.
Cott Beverages Ltd has recalled its macb strawberry and kiwi flavoured still water because of a strong odour, unpleasant taste and the presence of mould and yeasts.
Food Standards Scotland has advised drinking the product may cause people to feel unwell.
A Cott Beverages spokeswoman said: "To all our macb consumers, we have previously advised of a quality issue with our macb strawberry & kiwi still water 1.5L and 330ml drinks Best Before End Date August 2018.
"The issue creates an unpleasant odour and flavour in the product.
"Whilst not all bottles are affected, if you suspect any product you have purchased to have the unpleasant odour or flavour please do not consume and email customercare@cott.co.uk for a full refund.
"Macb is committed to manufacturing products of the highest safety and quality and apologises for any inconvenience caused.
"No other products within the macb range are known to been affected."
Food Standards Scotland also said if people have purchased any other macb product and suspect it smells strange and/or its appearance is abnormal, they should not drink it and contact their local authority.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
