May contain alcohol?

Shock at the news

Several netizens expressed shock at the news.

Is it accurate?

But is the information accurate? A quick check of the tea's ingredient list on its the bottle does not indicate whether or not it contains alcohol.

There's an ingredient list which you can find online for both flavours of the Premium Morning Tea, which also do not indicate whether or not the drinks contain alcohol.

Mothership has contacted Suntory Beverage and Food Asia to confirm whether these allegations are accurate.
