Keurig Issues Recall for Over 80,000 Decaf McCafe Coffee Pods that May Actually Contain Caffeine
A voluntary product recall has been issued by Keurig Dr Pepper for over 80,000 of the company’s McDonald’s branded decaffeinated McCafé coffee pods because of the possibility that they may, in fact, contain caffeine, according to the Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
The recall for the company’s McCafé Premium Roast Decaf Coffee K-Cup Pods – sold in 84-count cartons – was originally issued in December; on January 23, the FDA upgraded the recall to Class II, which according to the agency means that it is a product that “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.”
There are people who abstain from caffeine due to potential adverse health risks, such as individuals with heart problems, diabetes, osteoporosis, or if they are pregnant.
According to the FDA, Keurig had reportedly shipped the potentially mislabeled coffee pods to locations in California, Indiana and Nevada, with the products in question having a “best by” date of November 17, 2026, and batch number 5101564894.
To date, however, Keurig has not issued any guidance on how consumers can return the recalled coffee pods, or how they can acquire a refund.
