The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a recall of certain ground coffee products due to mislabeling concerns. On March 25, 2025, the FDA reported that 692 cases of flavored ground coffee were mislabeled as decaffeinated. This recall affects 15 states, including Illinois.
The affected product is the “Our Family Traverse City Cherry Artificially Flavored Decaf Light Roast Ground Coffee,” sold in 12-ounce bags with a best-before date of August 3, 2025. The recall was initiated by Massimo Zanetti Beverage USA and distributed by the SpartanNash Company.
The FDA has classified this recall as a “Class II” recall, indicating that exposure to the misbranded product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, with the probability of serious adverse health consequences being remote. Individuals sensitive to caffeine or those with medical conditions that contraindicate caffeine consumption should exercise caution.
