If you swear by a morning or afternoon cup of decaffeinated coffee, either for health reasons or because you love the taste, you’ll want to listen up. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) just announced a recall on one of Our Family’s decaf ground coffees due to “mislabelling.”
Here’s everything you need to know about the recall.
Jump to:
Parent company SpartanNash just issued a voluntary recall on 692 cases of Our Family’s Traverse City Cherry Decaf Ground Coffee, purportedly affecting 15 states where the grounds were distributed. With the assistance of the FDA, the agency categorized the revocation as a Class II recall, meaning “a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”
While the language may seem alarming, the recall is a mid-level concern.

The company issued a recall after identifying a potential mislabel claiming its Traverse City Cherry caffeinated coffee was decaffeinated. While decaf coffee still contains some caffeine, the measurements are considerably less.
According to the Mayo Clinic, an average 8-ounce cup of brewed decaf coffee contains 1 milligram of caffeine while a standard brewed coffee is said to contain 96 milligrams of caffeine.
Most adults can safely consume up to 400 milligrams of caffeine per day, so consumption of the mislabeled brew isn’t expected to have major, irreversible health effects. However, a difference of 95 milligrams can still make an impact, especially if you’re not used to consuming caffeine or avoid it for health reasons.
To verify that you possess one or more of the potentially mislabeled ground coffee bags, check the product code below the barcode on the side of the package, as well as the best-by date to see if they match the information noted above.
Neither the FDA nor SpartanNash has stated what customers should do if they have the recalled product. However, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and dispose of a recalled food or beverage item.
