Recall Alert by FDA: Mislabeled Decaf Coffee Sold in 15 States
March 29 - 2025
Coffee Geography Magazine
The FDA has announced a recall of *Our Family Traverse Ground Coffee* due to mislabeling—some bags marked as decaffeinated may contain regular coffee. The voluntary recall, issued by Massimo Zanetti Beverage USA on March 13, affects 12-ounce bags sold in 15 states (CO, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, MO, MN, NC, ND, NE, OH, SD, WI, WY) with a best-by date of August 3, 2025.
The FDA classifies this as a *Class II recall*, meaning the product could cause temporary or medically reversible health issues, though severe reactions are unlikely. While no specific instructions were provided for returning or disposing of the product, consumers—especially those sensitive to caffeine—should exercise caution.
Caffeine can worsen conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis, warns Aurora Health Care. Even decaf coffee contains trace amounts (2–15 mg per 8-ounce cup), so those with severe caffeine sensitivities should avoid it entirely, per the FDA.
What You Should Do
Check your pantry for affected bags (UPC 0-70098-10090-8). If found, discard or return them to the store. Contact SpartanNash (distributor) or Massimo Zanetti Beverage USA for further details.
