A company has initiated a recall of its ground coffee due to mislabeling. This issue affects 15 states and has been classified by the FDA as a Class II risk. Massimo Zanetti Beverage USA recalled its Our Family’s Traverse City Cherry-Flavored Decaf Light Roast Ground Coffee. The problem arose when the coffee, labeled as “decaf,” was found to contain caffeine. This can pose health risks for individuals sensitive to caffeine.

• A total of 692 bags of the coffee were recalled, with specific UPC and recall number provided.
