Hey coffee lovers! If you rely on decaf to fuel your day, there’s some news you should be aware of. The FDA has recently issued a recall that might affect your morning routine. Let’s dive into the details.
What’s Brewing with the Coffee Recall?
Over 4,000 bags of Our Family Traverse City Cherry Artificially Flavored Decaf Light Roast Ground Coffee have been recalled. Some of these 12-ounce bags were mislabeled as decaffeinated but may actually contain caffeine. This could be a concern for those who need to avoid caffeine for health reasons.
Is my Coffee Affected?
The affected coffee was distributed by SpartanNash Company across 15 states, including Colorado, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The specific lot in question has a best-use-by date of August 3, 2025. If you’ve purchased this product, it’s time to check your pantry.

Health Buzz: Why It Matters
The FDA has classified this as a Class II recall, indicating that exposure may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. Unexpected caffeine intake can lead to jitters, sleep disturbances, or increased heart rate, especially if you’re sensitive or have certain health conditions.
What Should I Do?
If you have this coffee in your kitchen:
- Stop Brewing: Discontinue use immediately.
- Return It: Take the product back to the store where you bought it for a full refund or replacement.
- Stay Informed: Keep an eye on FDA announcements for any updates.
