Be wary of fake vodka bottles.

Trading standards officers said fake Spar own-label vodka was found in a non-Spar store in Norwich on Friday.

The Food Standards Agency has said the vodka contains "potentially harmful levels of methanol".

There are no concerns associated with authentic bottles of Spar Imperial Vodka, the council said.

A council spokesman said the only legitimate way of purchasing Spar own-label 70cl vodka was via a Spar store and any vodka offered for sale by any other means should "be deemed suspect".

He said: "No cases of ill health associated with this counterfeit vodka have currently been reported, but the counterfeit Spar Imperial Vodka is said to have a hint of acetone smell (similar to nail varnish), with the printed wording smudged on the labelling found on the bottles in Norwich.
