(WJW) – Nearly 300 types of canned coffee products distributed nationwide through various coffee roasters and retailers are being recalled.


According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Snapchill LLC, a Wisconsin-based company, is voluntarily recalling all of its canned coffee products that are within their expiration dates. The company discovered that its manufacturing process could potentially lead to a fatal form of food poisoning.


The recall alert highlights that the manufacturing process "could lead to the growth and production of the deadly botulinum toxin in low acid canned foods."


Botulism, as explained by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is a rare but serious illness that can cause difficulty breathing, muscle paralysis, and even death. The FDA notes that symptoms can start anywhere from six hours to two weeks after consuming food contaminated with the toxin.



**What to Look For:**


The recalled products were sold under various roaster and brand names and came in metal cans ranging from 7 oz to 12 oz, according to the FDA.


The products can be identified by the phrase "Produced and distributed by Snapchill LLC" located under the nutrition facts panel. Some cans may also feature the text "Snapchill Coffee" on the label, as stated in the alert.

**What to Do:**


Affected products should be either destroyed or returned to Snapchill or the place of purchase for a refund, according to the FDA.


The FDA also notes that no illnesses have been reported in connection with the recalled products, and Snapchill is not aware of any products containing the toxin.
