Snapchill LLC Recalls Canned Coffee Products Due to Potential Clostridium botulinum

Snapchill LLC, a Wisconsin-based company, is recalling all canned coffee products within their expiration date due to the potential growth and production of botulinum toxin in low acid canned foods. Botulism, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning, can cause symptoms such as general weakness, dizziness, double-vision, and difficulty with speaking or swallowing. Symptoms can begin six hours to two weeks after eating food containing botulinum toxin. The company was notified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that the low acid canned foods process for manufacturing the recalled products was not filed with the FDA, as required by regulation. No illnesses have been reported to date, and Snapchill is working on filing the appropriate notification with the FDA. The products are sold under various roaster and brand names and are identified by the language “Produced and distributed by Snapchill LLC” underneath the nutrition facts panel or the text “Snapchill Coffee” on the label. The voluntary recall is being made with the knowledge of the FDA.
