Keurig recalls 80K coffee pods over caffeine mix-up

(WKRC) — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has announced a recall of more than 80,000 McCafé Premium Roast Decaf Coffee K-Cup pods sold by Keurig Dr Pepper because the products may contain regular, full-caffeine coffee.

The recall, initiated Dec. 6, 2025, involves about 960 cartons, each containing 84 pods. The FDA classified the action as a Class II recall, meaning consumption may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health effects.

The affected coffee was sold at retailers in California, Indiana and Nevada.

According to the FDA, consumers can identify the recalled products by the best-by date “17 NOV 2026 LA hh:mm PL070 5321 or 5322,” batch number 5101564894, material number 5000358463 and ASIN B07GCNDL91.

The recall was issued because of a labeling error, not because the coffee itself is unsafe to drink. However, the FDA advised consumers who are monitoring their caffeine intake to discard the pods or return them for a refund or replacement.
