Molson Canada and Coors Light among 29 beers recalled in Canada over metal contamination
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has ordered a recall of 29 beer and non-alcoholic beer products after metal fragments were found in several brands, including Molson Canadian, Coors Light and Blue Moon.
More than two dozen beer and non-alcoholic beer products are being recalled across Canada after the Canadian Food Inspection Agency identified pieces of metal in the beverages. The recall, issued by Molson Canada and published by the agency, lists 29 affected items spanning individual cans and multi-pack cases.
Brands involved include Blue Moon, Black Horse, Brasseur de Montréal, Coors Light, Hop Valley, India Beer and Molson Canadian. Specific products range from single-serve cans to 24-pack cases, with variations in size and flavor.
The affected Molson Canadian, Coors Light, India Beer and Black Horse items are distributed in Atlantic Canada, while Brasseur de Montréal products are sold in Quebec. Hop Valley items are found in Ontario and Western Canada, and selected Blue Moon products are impacted nationwide.
Businesses have been instructed not to use, sell, serve or distribute the recalled products and to contact the CFIA with any questions. Molson Coors said the issue is limited to particular case codes that differ by region.
"Molson Coors Beverage Company is working closely with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and our customers as we continue to investigate a quality issue affecting select products packaged at our Creemore, Longueuil, Moncton and St. John’s breweries," the company said in a statement.
"We have not received any notification of consumer harm to date."
Molson Coors advises consumers to call its customer-support line at 1-800-MOLSON1 for case-code information or further assistance, and to return any defective product matching an impacted code to the place of purchase.
