Molson Coors recalls dozens of beer products across Canada over metal pieces

Molson Coors has recalled dozens of beer and non-alcoholic beer products across Canada due to possible pieces of metal in the drinks. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency published the recall notice, which lists 29 products from brands including Blue Moon, Black Horse, Brasseur de Montreal, Coors Light, Hop Valley, India Beer and Molson Canadian. The company said the recall is a Class III, meaning there is a low risk of health problems from consumption. "We have not received any notification of consumer harm to date," Molson Coors spokesperson Ryan McKenna wrote in a statement.

The affected products were packaged at the company's breweries in Creemore, Longueuil, Moncton and St. John's. The recall impacts different regions for different brands. Molson Canadian, Coors Light, India and Black Horse products are affected in Atlantic Canada. Brasseurs de Montreal products are recalled in Quebec, while Hop Valley items are affected in Ontario and Western Canada. Select Blue Moon products are recalled in all four of those regions.

The company said the recall is limited to specific case codes, which vary by region. Consumers are advised to check for these codes printed on boxes, cans and bottles. "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. Any product matching an impacted code should be returned to the point of purchase.

Businesses have been asked not to use, sell, serve or distribute the recalled products and to contact the CFIA with any questions. Molson Coors added that consumers can contact its customer support team at 1-800-MOLSON1 to receive the specific case codes for impacted products or if they have any questions. The company said retailers have been asked to immediately stop selling the affected drinks. Health Canada also issued a statement about the recall. The recall notice was issued by Molson Canada 2005. The company notes the recall is a Class III, which means there is a "low risk that consuming the food may result in any undesirable health problems."
