Crown Royal Whisky Recalled in Canada Over Glass Risk
Canadians are being warned about a new food recall, and this time it involves one of the country’s most famous liquor brands.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has recalled certain bottles of Crown Royal Reserve whisky because they may contain shards of glass. The recall was announced on Tuesday, and Canadians are being told not to use, sell, serve, or share the affected bottles.
The recall applies to 750-mL bottles of Crown Royal Reserve Canadian Whisky – Aged 12 Years with the UPC code 0 82000 80992 0 and the lot code 5199.
So far, the whisky has been sold in Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, and Newfoundland and Labrador. The recall was issued by Diageo Canada, the company that owns Crown Royal, and has been listed as a Class 2 recall. That means the product could cause short-term health problems, but the chance of serious harm is low.
Even if a bottle looks fine, Canadians are urged to double-check the lot code before pouring another drink.
