Maple Syrup Sold in Ontario and Quebec Recalled Over Container Defects

9227-8712 Quebec Inc. has recalled multiple lots of Pure Maple Syrup sold under its own brand and the L’Erabeille brand due to container integrity defects that can lead to spoilage. The recall, issued by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, affects 540 ml containers distributed in Ontario and Quebec, with all lot codes included in the action.

What Products Are Being Recalled?

The recall covers 540 ml containers of Pure Maple Syrup sold under two brand names. The 9227-8712 Quebec Inc. brand version carries UPC codes 6 27843 72614 2 and 6 27713 37937 9, while the L’Erabeille brand version carries UPC 8 74348 00204 8. All lot codes for both products are included in the recall, meaning consumers cannot rely on a specific batch number to determine if their product is affected.

Why Was This Recall Issued?

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency identified container integrity defects in the affected maple syrup products. These defects can compromise the seal of the container, allowing microbial contamination to occur and leading to spoilage of the product inside. The issue has been classified as a Class 3 recall, and CFIA describes the concern as non-harmful in terms of quality or spoilage rather than a serious health hazard.

Who Is Affected?

The recall applies to retail businesses and consumers who purchased the affected Pure Maple Syrup in Ontario and Quebec. Because the recall covers all lot codes, anyone who bought either brand in the 540 ml size within the distribution area should check their product against the listed UPC codes.

What Should You Do?

Consumers and retailers are instructed not to use, sell, serve or distribute the affected Pure Maple Syrup products. Anyone who has purchased the recalled syrup should check the container for signs of spoilage or damaged seals before use.
