Health officials in Scotland have warned fans of Glen’s vodka to keep an eye out for fake half bottles containing medical disinfectant.

Scammers have hijacked the popular brand to sell counterfeit products containing the chemical isopropyl, which is typically used in hospital settings or in hand sanitiser.

Food Standards Scotland (FSS) say the fake booze will smell and taste ‘very different’ to the Glen’s product people recognise.
