  • Keurig Dr Pepper is recalling McCafe Premium Roast Decaf Coffee K-Cup Pods because the products labeled as "decaf" may actually contain caffeine, according to the FDA.
  • The recall applies to 84-count cartons distributed to stores in California, Indiana, and Nevada, affecting 960 cartons (80,640 pods total).
  • The FDA has classified the recall as Class II, meaning the mislabeled coffee could pose temporary or medically reversible health risks, especially for people who must avoid caffeine.

If you use K-Cups to brew your morning coffee, check the label. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a recall of K-Cups distributed to three states due to mislabeling.

The recall affects McCafe Premium Roast Decaf Coffee K-Cup Pods, which Keurig Dr Pepper is recalling because they may contain caffeine, according to the FDA. The product's carton and pods are labeled as "decaf," but the coffee inside may contain caffeine.

The pods are packaged in 84-count cartons with UPC 043000073438 and were distributed by Keurig Green Mountain of Burlington, Massachusetts, to stores in California, Indiana, and Nevada.
