Gimme Coffee, Inc. announced in October that it was voluntarily recalling its Gimme! Decaf de Agua Coffee Pods after it was discovered that the pods contained caffeine. Last week, the FDA elevated the recall to a class II risk classification.<\/p>\n
According to the FDA, a class II risk violation occurs when the \u201cuse of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although the product is safe to drink, customers who have a caffeine sensitivity should be mindful, as the pods may cause a health risk. The FDA has advised that 400 milligrams per day of caffeine \u2014 about two to three 12-fluid-ounce cups of coffee \u2014 is a safe amount to consume for most adults without any negative effects.<\/p>\n
The 252 affected boxes of coffee pods can be identified by the UPC code 051497457990 and an outer packaging best-by date of October 15, 2025, and an inner packaging best-by date of September 30. <\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Dollar General announced that it was recalling certain lots of its Clover Valley Instant Coffee due to the potential presence of glass.<\/p>\n
The recall affects three lots of the eight-ounce product, sold exclusively in Dollar General stores nationwide between July 9 and 21. The coffee was distributed in 48 states, excluding Hawaii and Alaska.<\/p>\n
According to the recall notice, the issue came to light after a customer reported concerns to Dollar General employees. The FDA warns that ingesting glass fragments could cause serious harm, including broken teeth, cuts to the mouth and throat, or intestinal perforation.<\/p>\n
No injuries or illnesses have been reported to date. Customers can locate the affected lot numbers and best-by dates printed around the neck of the jar.<\/p>\n
The affected coffees are as follows:<\/p>\n
8-Ounce Clover Valley\u00ae Instant Coffee<\/p>\n
