A recall has been issued for instant coffee pods sold in 10 states due to a mislabeling issue that could harm individuals sensitive to caffeine. The affected product, Gimme! Decaf de Agua Coffee Pods, was mistakenly labeled as caffeine-free when it actually contains caffeine. This recall, classified as a level 2 risk by the FDA, highlights the potential for temporary health problems for those who consume caffeine unknowingly.
• The recall affects around 250 boxes of coffee pods sold in states including Florida, Iowa, and Massachusetts.
• The initial recall occurred in November, but the issue was not fully resolved until now.
• Consumers are advised to check their products for the UPC code 051497457990.
• Gimme! Coffee is offering refunds and returns for customers who purchased the affected pods.
This situation emphasizes the importance of accurate labeling in food products, particularly for those with dietary restrictions. Mislabeling can lead to serious health risks and erodes consumer trust in food safety.
