Do you trust that the beer you buy at stores is safe?

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency issued an alert on Tuesday for alcoholic and non-alcoholic beer products distributed nationally. The recall, initiated by Molson Canada 2005, is due to extraneous material, specifically pieces of metal.

Why it matters

Consumers who have purchased the affected beers across Canada may be holding products that should not be consumed. A separate recall of certain Jackson-Triggs wine distributed to Ontario, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador was also issued.

The alert lists each affected product by brand, product, size, UPC number, and affected code, with package sizes including 8 x 355 mL Black Horse Beer, 24 x 473 mL Blue Moon, and 6 x 355 mL Blue Moon non-alcoholic. The source does not report how many units are affected.

Season Trajectory

This recall fits within the agency's established practice of publicly alerting Canadians to extraneous material in nationally distributed products. It shows the same recall mechanism applied across both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage lines in a single week.

Consumers who have purchased the listed beers should check the UPC number and affected code against their package before drinking. Affected products should be returned or discarded according to the agency's alert instructions.

The takeaway

Checking the UPC number and affected code on your beer packaging is the quickest way to tell whether a purchase is part of this recall. Keep product packaging until you have confirmed it is not affected.
