Botulism Alert: Recall Issued for Hundreds of Coffee Products Due to Contamination Concerns

Snapchill LLC, a Wisconsin-based company, has voluntarily recalled over 250 canned coffee products due to concerns of botulism contamination, as reported by the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA raised issues with the manufacturing process, specifically the low acid method used to produce the coffee, which poses a risk of botulinum toxin growth. Botulism is a serious type of food poisoning that can lead to symptoms such as weakness, dizziness, and difficulty breathing. While no illnesses have been reported, the recall was initiated as a precautionary measure to prevent potential sickness. Customers are advised to check for the label "Produced and distributed by Snapchill LLC" on the cans and return them for a refund if affected. Immediate medical attention is required if symptoms of botulism appear.
