Beer recall: Coors Light, Molson Canadian, Blue Moon and four other brands listed over metal pieces

Twenty-nine beer and non-alcoholic beer products sold under seven brands are being recalled because they may contain pieces of metal, according to a notice from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).

The brands are Coors Light, Molson Canadian, Blue Moon, Black Horse, India Beer, Hop Valley and Brasseur de Montréal. Only the specific sizes, UPCs and case codes listed below are part of the recall, not every product sold under those brand names.

The recalling firm is Molson Canada 2005. The CFIA lists distribution as national, so Grey and Bruce shoppers should check any of these brands they have at home, at the cottage or behind the bar.

What the CFIA says

• Issue: pieces of metal (extraneous material)
• What to do: do not use, sell, serve or distribute the affected products
• Distribution: national
• Recall class: Class 3, the lowest of the CFIA's three recall classes
• Recall date: Nov. 2, 2026
• Notice: identification number RA-82913 (CFIA ID 17626), posted to the federal recalls site on Nov. 10

The notice lists its audience as retail. Molson Coors told CBC News that retailers have been asked to stop selling the affected products immediately, and told Global News that any product matching an affected case code should be returned to where it was bought.

How to check your pack

Find two things on the package:

1. The UPC, the 12-digit number under the barcode.
2. The case code, a short letter-and-number code such as J286 or K0126. CBC News reported that case codes are printed on boxes as well as on individual cans and bottles.

A product is part of the recall only if both the UPC and one of the listed case codes match a line below. If you are unsure, Molson Coors says consumers can call its customer support line at 1-800-MOLSON1 for help with case codes.

What the company says

In a statement to Global News, Molson Coors said it 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."

"We have not received any notification of consumer harm to date," the company said.

Molson Coors told Global News the affected products are limited to specific case codes that vary by region. Global News reported that the affected Molson Canadian, Coors Light, India and Black Horse products are in Atlantic Canada, the Brasseur de Montréal products are in Quebec, the Hop Valley products are in Ontario and Western Canada, and select Blue Moon products are affected in all four of those regions.

For Ontario readers, that makes the Hop Valley Bubble Stash IPA and the listed Blue Moon products the most likely to turn up locally. The CFIA notice itself does not break distribution down by region and lists it as national, so it is worth checking any pack from the brands above against the full list.
