Not the kind of glass you want with your whisky.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a recall for a specific lot of Crown Royal Reserve Canadian Whisky due to potential glass contamination.
The CFIA classified this as a Class 2 recall, meaning there is a moderate risk of short-term or non-life-threatening health issues.
Consumers are urged not to use, sell, serve, or distribute the product.
The agency did not specify how many bottles were sold or report any related incidents.
So far, the recall affects 650 ml bottles of Crown Royal Reserve sold in Alberta, British Columbia, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Ontario.
The affected product is identified by UPC 0 82000 80992 0 and code 5199, which corresponds to the 12-year-aged Canadian whisky.
What is different about Crown Royal Reserve?
According to the Crown Royal Reserve website, a Master Blender hand selects less than 1% of their exceptionally aged whiskies, creating a blend that is aged longer than most for the perfect balance of flavour and depth.
Crown Royal 12-Year-Old is a blend of five whiskies with notes of orchard fruit, white chocolate, toasted oak and hints of vanilla.
Crown Royal Reserve whiskey is the Blender's gift to Crown Royal enthusiasts: a creamy, rich, reserve-grade blend, with a velvety long lasting finish.
In late 2024, Crown Royal Reserve got a facelift, with new packaging and the age—12 years—displayed prominently on the bottle.
The whisky, produced by Diageo Canada Inc., was originally created as a royal gift for King George VI and Queen Elizabeth.
