81 per cent alcohol instead of 40
The LCBO has warned that some bottles of Georgian Bay Vodka have double the amount of alcohol in them as legally permitted and are “not safe for consumption”. The product is made by the Georgian Bay Gin Company and is supposed to contain 40 per cent alcohol. In fact it measures as much as 81 percent, the LCBO said. The board says the batch was bottled before correct dilution was made to achieve the 40 per cent level. The provincial agency says the batch of 654 bottles has been removed from LCBO shelves but any customers and licensees who have bottles from the affected batch should return them for a full refund.
