FDA Recalls Coffee Mislabeled as Decaf in 15 States

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a recall for thousands of pounds of ground coffee that was incorrectly labeled as decaffeinated. The recall, announced on Tuesday, affects products distributed in 15 states across the United States.

The mislabeling poses a potential risk to consumers who specifically purchase decaffeinated coffee to avoid caffeine. Individuals sensitive to caffeine may experience adverse effects if they unknowingly consume the regular caffeinated coffee.

The FDA urges consumers to check the lot numbers on their ground coffee to determine if their purchase is included in the recall. Specific details regarding affected lot numbers and distribution locations can be found on the FDA's website. The company responsible for the mislabeling is cooperating with the FDA to ensure the removal of the affected products from store shelves. Consumers with questions or concerns should contact the company directly.
