Canned coffee products recalled due to concerns of botulism

(WTAJ) — Snapchill LLC, of Green Bay, has announced a recall on all canned coffee products manufactured by the company.

The recall came as a result of the discovery that the current process of making the coffees could lead to the growth and production of the deadly toxin botulinum. Botulism is a potentially fatal form of food poisoning and can cause weakness, dizziness, double vision and trouble with speaking or swallowing.

Difficulty in breathing, weakness of other muscles, abdominal distension and constipation may also be common symptoms. Symptoms can begin from six hours to two weeks after eating food that contains botulinum toxin. People experiencing these problems should seek immediate medical attention.

The problem was identified when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notified Snapchill that the low acid canned foods process for manufacturing the recalled products was not filed with the FDA, as is required by regulation. Currently, no illnesses have been reported.

The products are sold under a range of roaster and brand names, in a variety of metal can sizes ranging from 7 oz to 12 oz. The products are identifiable by the language “Produced and distributed by Snapchill LLC” underneath the nutrition facts panel. Some of the products can also be identified by the text “Snapchill Coffee” on the label.
