Archibald Inc. recalled its Nuit Blanche White IPA in 473 ml cans and four packs after the Canadian Food Inspection Agency issued an alert for pieces of metal.
Metal Fragments Prompt 31 Product Recalls
- Supply Chain Disruption: Active lot investigations are underway by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
- Consumer Protection: Retailers must immediately stop selling affected items, while buyers can secure refunds for unopened inventory at municipal outlets like the Newfoundland and Labrador Liquor Corporation.
Broader Beverage Sector Exposure
The Quebec-based microbrewery addition follows a much larger nationwide action. Molson Canada recalled 29 products across multiple popular labels, pushing the total tally to 31 affected beverages.
The earlier sweep covers major brands distributed through Atlantic Canada, Ontario, and Western Canada, including Coors Light, Blue Moon, Black Horse, and India Beer.
The Newfoundland and Labrador Liquor Corporation said that all recalled beer has been pulled from store shelves. Unopened purchases are eligible for full refunds.
| Brewery / Subsidiary | Affected Brands | Distribution Regions |
|---|---|---|
| Archibald Inc. | Nuit Blanche White IPA | Quebec |
| Molson Canada | Molson Canadian, Coors Light, Blue Moon | Atlantic Canada, Ontario and Western Canada |
| Brasseurs de Montreal | Normanville, Bonsecours, Griffintown | Quebec |
| Hop Valley | Bubble Stash IPA | Ontario and Western Canada |
Molson Coors Investigates Quality Issue Affecting Select Products
The company maintains that the health hazard remains minimal.
“We have not received any notification of consumer harm to date,” wrote Ryan McKenna, spokesperson for the Newfoundland and Labrador Liquor Corporation, according to CBC.
“Molson Coors Beverage Company 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,” the parent company said to Global News.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency classified the action as Class III. This designation indicates a low risk that consuming the affected product will result in adverse health complications.
Inventory Verification and Next Steps
Consumers holding products with matching case codes must check packaging details carefully. Retailers remain legally barred from serving or selling the flagged inventory.
Buyers can verify lot numbers printed on individual cans or outer cartons. Unopened multi-packs or single units can be returned directly to points of purchase for full reimbursement.
