Every can is stamped right on the bottom,
so just make sure that you are checking that.
Matt Green says recalled beer is gone from his store.
No risk of metal pieces here.
Health Canada recalled several Molson Coors beer cans this week,
including Coors Light, Molson Canadian, and Blue Moon,
the alcoholic and non-alcoholic version,
as well as local favorites, India and Black Horse.
Some of the drinks packaged at the brewery in St. John.
It's not every beer that's part of the recall.
If you're drinking an India or a Coors Light, for example,
that doesn't necessarily mean it's off-limits.
You gotta check the code on the bottom of the can
or the side of the box. This one, for example,
is part of the recall, so I will not be cracking this.
If you've got recalled beer,
you should return it where you bought it, Molson Coors says,
and they told people to stop selling the recalled drinks right away.
The NLC says all recalled beer is now off liquor store shelves.
They've been told there's low risk to the public,
but you still shouldn't drink it.
Meanwhile, Molson Coors has said they're investigating the issue
and so far haven't heard of any harm to consumers.
In a statement saying, quote,
as a beverage company that's been brewing beer for hundreds of years,
we have a steadfast commitment to quality
and are committed to working with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency
to ensure consumer safety is of utmost importance.
In the meantime, the NLC says you can
return unopened beer packs for a refund,
and Matt Green says you can also bring recalled beer back to his store.
Just double-check just to make sure you've got the right stuff,
and I can imagine other owners like myself would
be very happy to replace the beer.
You can find all the recalled beers
and codes on Health Canada's website.
For now, before bottoms-up, maybe check the bottom.
