Coffee lovers, take note! The FDA has issued a recall for 80,000 Keurig coffee pods after discovering that decaf pods may contain caffeine.

The Culprits

The affected product is the McCafe Premium Roast Decaf Coffee K-Cup Pods. These were sold in California, Indiana, and Nevada and can be identified by:

  • Best-by date: Nov. 17
  • UPC code: 043000073438

Why the Recall?

The FDA has classified this as a Class II recall, meaning the pods could cause mild to moderate health issues, though not life-threatening. However, this is still concerning for those with caffeine sensitivity or allergies.

Health Risks of Caffeine

  • Heart rate and blood pressure fluctuations
  • Allergic reactions in some individuals

What’s Next?

Keurig Dr Pepper has yet to release a statement or provide refund instructions. Stay tuned for updates.
