FDA Labels Keurig’s McCafé Decaf K‑Cup Recall Class II Over Caffeine Mix‑Up

Consumers sensitive to caffeine are advised to stop using the mislabeled pods, with refunds available through the retailer.

Overview

  • Keurig Dr Pepper initiated a voluntary recall on Dec. 6, 2025 after finding some McCafé Premium Roast Decaf K‑Cup pods may contain regular caffeinated coffee due to a labeling error.
  • The FDA classified the action as a Class II recall on Jan. 23, indicating potential temporary or medically reversible adverse health effects with a remote chance of serious harm.
  • The recall covers about 960 cartons, each with 84 pods (roughly 80,640 pods), distributed through a single retailer in California, Indiana and Nevada.
  • Affected 84‑count cartons can be identified by UPC 043000073438, best‑by 17 NOV 2026, batch 5101564894, material number 5000358463 and ASIN B07GCNDL91.
  • Consumers should stop using the pods and return or discard them; Keurig says buyers were notified in December and remaining retail stock was returned, no illnesses have been reported, and customer service is available at 866‑901‑2739.
