Snapchill, a coffee company, voluntarily recalled all of its canned coffee products because they could potentially cause botulism.
On June 17, the Green Bay, Wisconsin-based company recalled nearly 300 products over concerns that they could lead to the "growth and production" of botulinum, a potentially deadly toxin, states the recall announcement posted to the Food and Drug Administration's website. The FDA announced the recall on Friday.
The issue was identified when the FDA notified Snapchill its manufacturing process for low acid canned foods had not been filed with the agency, the recall announcement states.
The products are sold under a variety of brand names in cans ranging from 7 to 12 oz. Some products can also be identified by the text “Snapchill Coffee,” but all the products state "produced and distributed by Snapchill LLC” below the nutrition facts panel.
