Japan: Asahi breweries withdrawing cans from market because of wrong labelling

Because of incorrect labelling, the Japanese Brewer Asahi decided to recall about 68,000 cases of its beer like beverage PointOne.

The main issue with the labelling is that in nutrition statistics on the label of 344 ml and 350 ml cans there is an error about the energy content. Instead of 10 kilocalories per 100ml it was wrongly printed 19 kilocalories which was the main case for withdrawal.
