Some Blue Moon beer sold in Canada is part of a Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) recall because pieces of metal may be present. The recall covers specific batches and package formats, not every Blue Moon product. If you bought a 24-pack of Blue Moon Belgian White at Costco, compare its UPC and lot code with the official list before drinking any more. CFIA says affected products should not be used, sold, served or distributed.
The CFIA notice lists Blue Moon Non-Alcoholic Belgian White in 6 x 355 mL and 24 x 355 mL packages; Belgian White in 24 x 355 mL, 24 x 473 mL, 4 x 473 mL and 12 x 355 mL packages, as well as individual 473 mL cans; Mango Wheat in 24 x 473 mL, 4 x 473 mL and individual 473 mL formats; and Light Citrus Wheat in 12 x 355 mL. Each entry applies only to the lot codes shown in the notice.
For Costco shoppers, current reporting describes the warehouse notice as covering Blue Moon Beer 24 x 355 mL, with return to a Costco warehouse for a full refund. That description does not replace checking the official recall listing: its Blue Moon Belgian White 24 x 355 mL entry gives UPC 056327021945 and codes H286, J116 and K096. If the full code printed on your package differs or is hard to interpret, ask Costco or Molson to confirm before consuming it.
Find the package size and UPC on the carton, then look for the printed production or lot code on the carton and individual cans. CFIA lists package codes such as H286, J116 and K096 for the 24 x 355 mL Belgian White product. The Costco notice is reported to use longer codes, so do not assume that a partial match or a similar-looking number is enough. Compare the complete marking with the current notice or contact the seller or manufacturer if uncertain.
Use the CFIA recall notice and affected-product table as the primary reference. It also lists other beer brands under the same recall. Not every item has the same distribution area or lot codes.
Do not drink, serve or give away a matching product. Keep it separate from other beverages while arranging its return, and avoid opening more cans to inspect them. Costco’s reported notice directs customers to bring affected products to a warehouse for a refund. If you purchased elsewhere, contact the retailer for return instructions. For recall questions, Molson Coors has been reported as directing consumers to its customer support line at 1-800-MOLSON1.
If you already drank some, the CFIA classifies the recall as Class 3, a category it uses when the health risk is considered low. That classification does not mean the product is safe to keep using: follow the recall instruction and seek medical advice if you feel unwell or have a health concern. The company told news outlets it had received no reports of consumer harm at the time of its statement; that is a reported status, not a guarantee about an individual product.
The CFIA says the reason is pieces of metal. Reporting on the Costco notice says metal fragments could detach from can lids during opening. The agency’s entry identifies Molson Canada 2005 as the recalling firm and gives the recall date as November 2, 2026. Its notice was originally published November 10 and last updated November 9, an apparent date sequence in the agency record; check the page for any later changes before acting.
The practical impact is limited to listed products and codes, but the recall includes multiple Blue Moon varieties and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beer. Retailers have been told not to sell affected items. Whether more products are added depends on the investigation; no expansion is confirmed in the CFIA notice checked for this update.
No. The notice identifies specific varieties, package sizes, UPCs and lot codes. Match all available details.
Costco’s reported notice says to return affected product to a warehouse for a refund. Contact the warehouse if you need confirmation about a partly used pack.
Do not consume the product while uncertain. Ask Costco or Molson to help identify the code using the package and UPC.
