More than 80,000 popular Keurig coffee pods recalled: What to know

Feeling jittery? More than 80,000 Keurig coffee pods labeled decaf have been recalled because they may in fact contain caffeine, an FDA enforcement report said.

According to the report Keurig Inc., which makes popular coffee pods known as K-Cups, issued the recall Dec. 6, 2025. On Jan. 23, 2026, the FDA updated the enforcement report to classify the recall as “Class II.”

The FDA says a Class II recall, which ranks as level two of three, applies to situations where exposure to am impacted product could cause temporary adverse health effects. On the FDA’s scale, a Class I recall is the most hazardous.

The recalled K-Cup pods were labeled as McCafe Premium Roast Decaf Coffee, the FDA said. They have a best by date of Nov. 17, 2026 and a UPC code of 043000073438, the FDA said.

The products were distributed in California, Indiana and Nevada, the FDA said. It wasn’t immediately clear which retailer or retailers the products were distributed to.

As many as 960 cartons, which contain 84 pods each, were recalled, the FDA said, with officials saying the product is labeled as decaf “but might contain caffeine.”

No further details for customers who may have purchased the K-Cups were provided. As of the time of publication, Keurig had not responded to NBC Chicago’s request for comment.
