Beer recall in Canada: metal chunks could end up in cans of several major brands

Beer lovers are advised to exercise caution. Molson Canada 2005 is recalling several alcoholic and non-alcoholic beers sold across Canada from the marketplace due to a risk of injury due to metal fragments in the cans.

The recall includes products from Molson Canadian, Coors Light, Blue Moon, Black Horse and Brasseur de Montréal brands, as well as several other beers.

According to a recall notice on the Costco Canada site, aluminum fragments may break off from the lids of some cans when they are opened. These pieces of metal could pose a risk to consumers.

The recall affects a wide range of products available in different sizes, from individual cans to boxes of 24.

Product coverage includes:

• Black Horse: pack of 8.
• Blue Moon: Belgian White, Mango Wheat and Light Citrus and Wheat, in various formats.
• Brasseur de Montréal: Normanville Hazy IPA, Bonsecours Lager, Sélection du quartier, Griffintown Ale Blonde and Petite-Bourgogne Ale Rousse.
• Coors Light: different sizes of 8, 12, 15 and 24 cans.
• Hop Valley: Bubble Stash IPA
• India Beer: pack of 12.
• Molson Canadian: sizes of 12, 15 and 24 cans, as well as individual cans.

Other products may also be affected. It is therefore important to consult the complete list of product codes and batches before consuming a beer from these brands.

Consumers who have purchased one of the affected products should check the UPC (Universal Product Code) and lot code on the package.

Affected products are not to be consumed, sold, served or distributed.

Although no incident was reported at the time of company notification, the potential risk from aluminum fragments warrants taking the recall seriously.

A quick look at your cash register or can code could save you a nasty surprise.
