FDA Recalls Ground Coffee in 15 States Due to Labeling Error

On March 31, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a recall of ground coffee sold in 15 states. The coffee was mistakenly labeled as decaffeinated, but it may actually contain regular caffeine.

The recall affects hundreds of 12-ounce bags of Our Family Traverse City Cherry Decaf Light Roast Ground Coffee. This coffee was sold in the following states: Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Minnesota, North Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

The company, Our Family, said no other products are part of the recall. They apologized for any inconvenience caused and assured customers they are committed to product safety.

The recall was voluntarily issued on March 13 by Massimo Zanetti Beverage USA, one of the largest coffee suppliers in the U.S. The FDA has classified this as a category II recall, meaning the coffee might cause temporary health issues if consumed, but it’s not life-threatening.

So far, neither Massimo Zanetti nor the coffee’s distributor, SpartanNash, has commented on the recall.
