The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a recall for 692 cases of Our Family Traverse City Cherry Artificially Flavored Decaf Light Roast Ground Coffee due to a mislabeling error. SpartanNash, the distributor, initiated the voluntary recall on March 13, 2025, which was later classified as a Class II recall by the FDA on March 25. This classification indicates the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health issues, though the likelihood of severe consequences is low. The affected coffee packages were mislabeled as decaffeinated, potentially posing risks to individuals who need to avoid caffeine for medical or dietary reasons.

The recall impacts 4,152 individual 12-ounce packages with the UPC code 0 70253 11080 1 and a "Best Before" date of August 3, 2025. These products were distributed across 15 states, primarily in the Midwest, but also reaching other regions. Consumers are advised to check their pantries for these specific packages and either dispose of them or return them to the store for a refund. To date, no illnesses or adverse health effects have been reported in connection with this product.

SpartanNash has assured customers that other coffee products under the Our Family brand are safe for consumption. The company expressed its commitment to consumer safety and apologized for any inconvenience caused by the recall. They emphasized that the mislabeled coffee had already been removed from store shelves prior to the FDA's official announcement earlier this week. This proactive measure aims to minimize risks and ensure customer trust in their products.

The FDA advises consumers who may have consumed this mislabeled coffee and experienced any adverse effects to consult a healthcare professional immediately. Coffee enthusiasts in affected states should remain vigilant and verify their purchases to avoid potential health risks associated with caffeine consumption.
