Tens of thousands of Keurig McCafé Premium Roast Decaf Coffee K‑Cup Pods were voluntarily recalled on December 6 due to potential caffeine contamination. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) categorized this recall as Class II, indicating that consumption could lead to temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. This is particularly concerning for individuals monitoring caffeine intake due to health conditions, pregnancy, or sensitivity, as unexpected caffeine can cause side effects like jitters or sleep disruption.
The recalled K‑Cup pods are identifiable by a "best-by" date of "17 NOV 2026 LA hh:mm PL070 5321 or 5322," a batch number of "5101564894," material number "5000358463," and ASIN "B07GCNDL91." These affected cartons were sold at retailers in California, Indiana, and Nevada. Consumers in possession of these pods are advised not to drink them if they are limiting caffeine intake. They may choose to discard the pods or return them to the retailer for a refund or replacement.
