I mean exploding just means that it wasn’t done fermenting and continued to do so in the can. Improper storage could also contribute (very warm conditions for example). The seals popped, that’s all.
I don’t know if there’s supposed to be any active fermentation in these drinks, but otherwise generally speaking this sounds about right
“A single batch of Armada Cannabis Co. Cannabis Apple Cider (20mg THC) is being recalled because the products were not compliantly produced and there have been reports of cans swelling and bursting,” a Cannabis Regulatory Agency (CRA) recall notice said. “This is attributable to the lack of a necessary ingredient to ensure shelf stability.”
“We received two reports, both from retailers, zero from consumers,” said CRA spokesman David Harns.
I don’t know what you’d call it other than “exploding,” though. If people read that and assume these cans are, like, destroying whole stores in fireballs and not just spraying a little fizzy drink on a grocery store shelf I think that’s on the reader more than the headline writer.
Before just a few years ago, most beer was either pasteurized, the yeast filtered out, or if unfiltered the sugar content was effectively nil.
New generations of drinks have fruit pulp in the meaning they can’t be filtered and there’s going to some level of residual sugar/plant matter left behind. And customers are just supposed to know that it’s a living organism, must be refrigerated and consumed quickly.
To some degree bottle bombs have existed within home brew, or diastatic yeast situations… But it’s not shocking that a sweet, Fruity booze is being mishandled and popping off.
