Savanna recently released an ad featuring a pilot and traffic officer drinking a non-alcoholic Savanna in a bar before going to work.

According to complaints, this ad is misleading because the ad says 'not for sale to persons under 18' and it can still make you a bit drunk.

According to News24, Savanna said an average person would need to drink about 20.3 litres of its so-called non-alcoholic drink to exceed the legal alcohol limit for driving. Any drink containing less than 0.5% alcohol is considered “non-alcoholic” by law.
