Gimme Coffee, Inc., a New York-based brand, has voluntarily recalled its Gimme! Decaf de Agua Coffee Pods after it was discovered that the pods contained caffeine. The recall was announced in October, and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has since elevated the risk classification to Class II.
According to the FDA, a Class II risk violation means that exposure to the product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or that the probability of serious harm is remote. While the pods are safe for most people, those with caffeine sensitivity should be cautious.
The recall affects 252 boxes of coffee pods, identifiable by UPC code 051497457990. The outer packaging has a best-by date of October 15, 2025, and the inner packaging a best-by date of September 30, 2025. Each box contains 10 pods.
The affected products were distributed to ten states: Florida, Iowa, Massachusetts, Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Wisconsin. As of October 24, the company had received no customer complaints regarding the mix-up.
Customers who have purchased the recalled pods are advised to contact Gimme! Coffee for a return or replacement, or return them to the place of purchase. For inquiries, the company can be reached at (607) 273-0111 or orders@gimmecoffee.com.
