FDA Issues Recall for Coffee Grounds in 15 U.S. States Due to Mislabeling
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a recall for bags of ground coffee distributed across 15 states, including Illinois, due to mislabeling issues. The affected product, 'Our Family' decaf coffee, was found to contain undeclared allergens, posing potential health risks to consumers with allergies or sensitivities.
The recall was initiated after the discovery that some bags labeled as decaf coffee actually contained regular coffee, which could be harmful to individuals monitoring their caffeine intake for medical reasons. The FDA has urged consumers who have purchased the affected products to return them to the point of purchase for a full refund.
The states affected by this recall include Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The FDA emphasizes the importance of checking product labels carefully and staying informed about recalls to ensure consumer safety.
