Canada Beer Recall: 29 Products Across Seven Brands Flagged for Metal Pieces (Nov. 11)

Verified and updated: November 11, 2026, 8:07 p.m. UTC.

Canada’s food inspection agency has published a nationwide recall of 29 alcoholic and non-alcoholic beer products from seven brands after pieces of metal were identified as a hazard. The CFIA notice, originally published November 10, names products sold under Black Horse, Blue Moon, Brasseur de Montréal, Coors Light, Hop Valley, India Beer and Molson Canadian. Its instruction is clear: do not use, sell, serve or distribute any product matching the listed package, UPC and production code.

The recall date shown by the agency is November 2, and the notice is classified as a Class 3 notification. Check the code printed on the can or package as well as the brand: several affected products have multiple batch codes, and other products from the same brand are not automatically included.

Which beer brands and products are recalled in Canada?

The CFIA’s affected-product table lists the following UPCs and production codes. Codes are reproduced as shown in the notice; compare the whole entry with your package, since the same brand may have both affected and unaffected products.

What should you do if your beer matches the recall?

Do not drink or otherwise use a matching product. Keep it separate from other beverages and do not serve it to anyone. The CFIA also directs retailers and food businesses not to sell, serve or distribute affected products. The recall notice does not specify a refund procedure, so contact the store where you bought the beer to ask about its return process. For questions about the alert, the agency lists public enquiries at 1-613-773-2342 and information@inspection.gc.ca.

If you have already consumed beer that matches the notice and feel unwell, seek medical advice. This is a general precaution; the CFIA notice identifies a physical hazard and does not describe specific symptoms or report a particular illness. Do not rely on the illustration above to identify products—the packaging is generic. Use the official listing and the codes on your own container.

What changed, and what should consumers watch next?

The current verified development is the CFIA’s public notice, originally published November 10, for a recall dated November 2 and covering national distribution. The notice lists seven brands and 29 product/package entries, including alcoholic and non-alcoholic beer. It identifies pieces of metal as the issue and names Molson Canada 2005 as the recalling firm. It does not provide further detail on how the pieces entered the products, quantify consumer exposure or announce a refund policy. Those points should not be assumed.

Because recall details can be amended, check the agency page before making a final decision, especially if a code is hard to read or your package format differs. The CFIA page is the authoritative source for updates and the complete affected-product table: Various brands of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beer recalled due to pieces of metal.
