The United States Food & Drug Administration has just announced a voluntary recall of all canned coffee products manufactured by Snapchill LLC that are still within their expiration dates because the company’s manufacturing process may not prevent the growth and production of botulism, a potentially fatal toxin..
The recall is voluntary because, to date, no illnesses have been reported. Snapchill has been contacted by the FDA, informing them that the process it uses to can the coffee has not been filed with the FDA as required by regulations.
Botulism is a potentially fatal disease. Symptoms can appear six hours to two weeks after ingesting contaminated food. Symptoms of botulism include generalized weakness, dizziness, double vision, difficulty speaking or swallowing, difficulty breathing, muscle weakness, bloating, and constipation. If you experience any of the symptoms of botulism, seek medical attention immediately.
Snapchill coffee cans were distributed nationwide in sizes ranging from 7 oz. to 12 oz. Snapchill produces and distributes a wide variety of coffee brands, including Cape Cod Coffee, Coffee Hound, Knowledge Perk and Vivid (see full list below).
If your coffee was canned by Snapchill, you will find “Produced and distributed by Snapchill LCC” under the Nutrition Facts label. Some products also have “Snapchill Coffee” on the label.
If you own any of the affected coffee products, it is recommended that you throw them away or return them to Snapchill or where you purchased them for a full refund. You can also request a refund by emailing photos of the product and proof of purchase (i.e. a copy of the receipt) to Compliance@Snapchill.com. If you have any questions, email Snapchill or call the company Monday through Friday at (920) 632-6018 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Central Time.
