Major coffee retailer faces recall over decaf pods containing caffeine
- Keurig Dr Pepper has issued a voluntary recall of over 80,000 McCafé Premium Roast Decaf Coffee K-Cup Pods due to a labelling error, as they may contain caffeine despite being marked decaf.
- The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) elevated this recall to a Class II risk classification, indicating a potential health risk, particularly for individuals sensitive to caffeine.
- The affected Keurig pods, identifiable by specific batch and best-by dates, were distributed in California, Indiana, and Nevada, with customers advised to discard or return them for a refund.
- Separately, Gimme Coffee, Inc. also recalled 252 boxes of its Gimme! Decaf de Agua Coffee Pods for a similar labelling error, with these products also containing caffeine.
- Gimme Coffee's recalled pods were distributed across ten US states, and customers are encouraged to contact the company or return the product for a replacement or refund.
