Coffee Products Recalled In NJ Over Salmonella Risk

NEW JERSEY— More than 600 bags of flavored coffee and cappuccino powder sold in New Jersey have been recalled due to potential Salmonella contamination, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The recalling firm, SKS Copack, based in California, issued the recall after federal officials classified the affected products as Class I, the agency’s most serious designation.

The FDA said a Class I recall indicates a reasonable probability that use of the product “will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.”

The recall includes multiple Royal Gold and Angel brand drink mixes distributed in cases across the region.

Affected products include 105 cases of Royal Gold French Vanilla Cappuccino powder with item code CFC1000 and a manufacture date of April 16.

Officials also listed eight cases of Royal Gold Dutch Mocha Cappuccino powder with item code CFC2000 and a manufacture date of March 3.

The recall further includes 33 cases of Angel Caramel Latte powder with item code AMZN3001 and a manufacture date of April 14.

Stores that sell SKS Copack coffee products:

• ShopRite
• Stop & Shop
• ACME Markets
• Walmart
• Target
• Costco Wholesale

The FDA has not released information on reported illnesses linked to the products at the time of the recall announcement.

Consumers and retailers were advised to check inventory and remove affected products from shelves and homes.

Salmonella infection can cause fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In severe cases, it can lead to hospitalization, particularly among young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems.
