Popular Coffee Recalled in 15 States
A popular coffee brand has been recalled in 15 states.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced the recall on its website, describing the product as, "Coffee Roasters Our Family Traverse City Cherry artificially flavored decaf light roast ground coffee."
The recalled coffee is "distributed by the Spartannash Company" in Grand Rapids, MI, according to the FDA, which described the affected product as weighing 12 ounces.
The FDA gave the UPC as "0 70253 11080 1."
The coffee recall was initiated by the company, according to the FDA's announcement. "Product was shipped to distribution centers and retail stores in the following states: CO, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, MI, MN, NC, ND, NE, OH, SD, WI and WY," the FDA wrote.
The reason for the recall was given as "mislabeling."
"Mislabeling. A portion of the production of Our Family Traverse City Ground Coffee was mislabeled as decaffeinate," the FDA's announcement says.
According to Good Housekeeping, the recall is a Class II recall, which means it was initiated because "a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote."
The FDA's announcement does not provide next steps for consumers but does provide a number of details on its website.
The FDA has a roundup of recent recalls and safety alerts on its website. The products under recall include everything from brioche buns to chicken salad. Reasons for various recalls of other products on the FDA website range from "microbial contamination" to the presence of "undeclared milk."
