OTTAWA - Check the fridge before the weekend. Twenty-nine beers sold across Canada, including Molson Canadian, Coors Light and Blue Moon, have been recalled because they may contain pieces of metal.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency published the recall notice on November 10. The recalling firm is Molson Canada 2005, and the agency’s instruction is blunt: do not use, sell, serve or distribute the affected products.
The recall covers seven brands: Molson Canadian, Coors Light, Blue Moon, Brasseur de Montreal, Hop Valley, India Beer and Black Horse. It covers both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beer, in cans and bottles of several sizes.
The affected Molson Canadian products are the 15-pack of 355 mL cans (code J216), the 12-pack of 355 mL cans (codes J216 and K136), the 24-pack of 473 mL cans (code K016) and the single 473 mL can (code K016). Coors Light is affected in 24, 15, 8 and 12-packs of 355 mL cans, with codes J286, J246, J256 and K026 and K146 depending on the pack.
Blue Moon is affected across its Belgian White, Mango Wheat and Light Citrus Wheat lines, including the non-alcoholic Belgian White, in packs from 4 to 24 cans. Brasseur de Montreal is affected in five varieties: Normanville Hazy IPA, Bonsecours Lager Light, Neighbourhood’s Pick, Griffintown Blonde Ale and Petite-Bourgogne Red Ale. Hop Valley Bubble Stash IPA, India Beer and Black Horse Beer are each affected in one listed size.
The code printed on the can or bottle is what matters. Only the products carrying the listed codes are part of the recall, so shoppers should check the code on what they have at home against the full table on the food inspection agency’s recall page before throwing anything out or returning it.
The recall is dated November 2, and the notice carries the identification number RA-82913. The notice itself does not report any injuries or illnesses, and it does not say how the metal got into the products.
The beers were sold nationally, including in B.C., so Surrey households should check any Molson, Coors Light or Blue Moon stock bought recently. Anyone who finds an affected product should not drink it, and should follow the return or disposal instructions from the store where it was bought.
