A major recall has been issued for over 100 brands of canned coffee due to the risk of botulism, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning. The recall was initiated by Snapchill, LLC after the FDA raised concerns about their manufacturing process.
☕ Why It Matters: This recall affects a wide range of popular coffee brands, posing a significant health risk to consumers. Botulism can cause severe illness and even death if not treated promptly.
What’s Happening:
Snapchill, LLC, based in Green Bay, Wisconsin, has voluntarily recalled their canned coffee products after the FDA found that their low-acid canned foods manufacturing process was not properly filed.
- Brands affected include Big Mouth Coffee, Cape Cod Coffee, Five & Hoek, New Hampshire Coffee Roasters, and Wild Goose Coffee.
- Consumers are advised to check their pantry for any canned coffee products labeled “Produced and distributed by Snapchill LLC.”
Between the Lines:
The FDA’s notification highlighted a critical lapse in compliance with regulatory requirements, raising concerns about the potential for botulinum toxin growth in the canned coffee products.
- Proper filing of manufacturing processes is essential to prevent contamination.
- The recall underscores the importance of regulatory oversight in ensuring food safety.
Catch Up Quick:
Botulism is a rare but serious illness caused by a toxin that attacks the body’s nerves, leading to difficulty breathing, muscle paralysis, and even death.
- Symptoms include weakness, dizziness, double vision, and difficulty speaking or swallowing.
- Early detection and treatment are crucial for recovery.
The Big Picture:
Consumers are urged to dispose of any recalled canned coffee products immediately and seek refunds. By staying informed and following safe food handling practices, we can all contribute to a safer food supply.
