Massive Coffee Recall: Thousands of Pounds Mislabeled—Is Your Morning Brew Safe?

A major recall has been issued for thousands of pounds of Our Family coffee products, raising concerns over mislabeling and undeclared allergens. The recall affects multiple states, leaving coffee lovers scrambling to check their pantries.

What’s Behind the Recall?

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced the recall after discovering that certain coffee products were incorrectly labeled. The issue? Some bags failed to declare milk as an allergen—a serious risk for those with dairy sensitivities.

• Affected Products: Various Our Family coffee items, including ground and whole bean varieties.
• Problem: Misbranded packaging with undeclared milk ingredients.
• Risk: Potential allergic reactions for consumers with dairy allergies.

Which States Are Impacted?

The recalled coffee was distributed across multiple states, including:

• Alabama
• Florida
• Georgia
• Mississippi
• North Carolina
• South Carolina
• Tennessee

What Should You Do?

If you’ve purchased Our Family coffee, check the packaging immediately. Look for:

1. Product codes and expiration dates.
2. Missing milk allergen warnings.
3. Any signs of improper labeling.

If in doubt, do not consume the product. Return it to the store or dispose of it safely.

Company Response

The manufacturer has issued an apology and is working with retailers to remove affected products from shelves. No illnesses have been reported yet, but the company urges caution.
