</span></span></span>We just got word that Lallemand has issued a recall of their Nottingham yeast with lot#1080961099V, expiration date 12/2011.

This is from the Lallemand announcement.

October 6, 2010

Over
the last few weeks we have received several inquiries from homebrewers
regarding Nottingham lot #1080961099V exp. date 12/2011 stating that
they were experiencing slow start of fermentation and/or poor
fermentation performance. Internal tests conducted on a cross-section
of sachets of this batch over several weeks have indicated normal
performance, but given the widespread geographical nature of the
comments being received, we feel it is best to ask retailers and
distributors to return any inventory of this specific batch rather than
risk brewers having a negative experience with our products.

If you have Nottingham batch #1080961099V exp. date 12/2011 still in your inventory, please return it for exchange.

Please return the yeast to:
Lallemand Inc.
Attn: Marie Coppet
6100 Royalmount
Montreal, QC, Canada
H4P 2R2

Any inquiries about return logistics can be addressed to [email protected].

Replacement
inventory of Nottingham may be several weeks away as we are
transferring our packaging operations to another location, requiring
down-time for set-up of packaging equipment and infrastructure. We have
also invested in a new sachet packaging line which we anticipate
commissioning early next year. This is part of our commitment to ongoing
product improvement and ensuring brewers have a great experience with
our yeast. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we
hope you will bear with us as we work to address this issue in the
coming weeks. Your cooperation and support of Danstar products are
greatly appreciated.

If
you have any Nottingham that you purchased or that came with a Brewers best kit, with the above lot number you can return it to us for a credit on your account, or when we receive a fresh batch from our distributor we can ship them out for you.
 
Thats a great way to gain a brewers back. Even though their tests had no problems they are taking the word of the people! Great info Brian, thanks!
