FDA Confirms Recall of McCafé Decaf K-Cup Pods
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has confirmed a recall involving a popular McDonald’s-branded product sold across the United States. Keurig Dr Pepper has pulled thousands of McCafé Premium Roast Decaf Coffee K-Cup Pods from the market after the pods were found to potentially contain caffeine, despite being labeled as decaf.
Why the Coffee Is Being Recalled
