The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a recall for a Canadian brand whisky product due to possible glass contamination.

Liquor distributor Diageo Canada Inc. has recalled one of Crown Royal Reserve’s Canadian Whisky products due to the “possible presence of glass,” according to an Aug. 19 recall alert posted by the CFIA.

The affected product is labelled “Aged 12 Years” and comes in a 750 millilitre bottle.

The recall notice says the product was sold in Alberta, British Columbia, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Ontario.

The affected product’s UPC code is 082000809920.

The CFIA labels the recall in its “class 2” category, which it says indicates there is a “moderate” risk that consuming the product could lead to “short-term” or “non-life threatening” health issues.

The inspection agency advises consumers and retailers not to use, sell, serve, or distribute the affected products.

The CFIA notice does not indicate whether any incidents have been reported in connection with this recall.

The CFIA issued another recall notice in 2023 for Louis Latour brand wine over a “possible presence of glass.”

The affected product was labelled as Pinot Noir Bourgogne 2021 and came in a 375 millilitre bottle. The wine was distributed in Ontario and recalled by the LCBO.

The recall notice says no injuries had been reported in connection with consuming the affected product. However, the recall was classified as class 1, meaning there was a high risk that consuming the product could lead to serious health problems or death.
