Coffee Recall: 4,152 Bags of Coffee Accidentally Labeled as Decaf

I love making a decaf latte to wind down for the evening—the key word here being “decaf.” Now, it looks like I’m going to have to double-check my coffee cabinet, because Our Family just issued a recall. The reason? More than 4,000 bags of the brand’s Traverse City Cherry Decaf Coffee were labeled as decaf when they actually contain caffeine. Here’s everything we know so far.

What caused the recall?

According to Our Family, one lot code of the Our Family Traverse City Cherry Decaf Coffee is being recalled. The bags contain caffeinated coffee but were mislabeled as decaf. Per the FDA, this recall affects 692 cases containing six bags each, for a total of 4,152 bags of ground coffee.

This recall was initiated on March 13, and identified as a Class II recall on March 25. According to the FDA, this means that “use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”

What stores sold the coffee?

The recalled coffee was shipped to distribution centers and stores in 15 states: Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. No specific retailers have been identified at this time.
