HealthCoffee Creamer Recall: More Than 75,000 Bottles Pulled From Shelves Across the US

This consumer health alert details a significant recall of International Delight coffee creamers affecting 75,054 bottles across 31 states. The FDA has designated this as a Class 2 recall, indicating potential for temporary adverse health consequences with remote possibility of serious outcomes due to premature product spoilage.

Key Clinical Considerations

• Two specific flavors (Hazelnut and Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll) in 32 oz bottles with July 2025 best-by dates are affected, with identifiable UPC and lot codes.
• FDA documentation reveals consumer complaints of “spoilage and illness,” though Danone’s public statements only reference quality issues and “texture” problems.
• Class 2 risk designation indicates “temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences” with “remote” probability of serious health consequences.
• Recalled products remain within best-by date timeframe, suggesting continued risk of consumption among patients who may be unaware of the recall.
• Recent precedent exists with the company’s October 2024 recall of mislabeled “zero sugar” creamers, indicating potential quality control concerns.

Clinical Practice Impact

• Patient Communication: Consider screening patients presenting with unexplained GI symptoms for consumption of affected products, particularly those with compromised immune systems.
• Practice Integration: Maintain awareness of regional distribution (31 affected states) when evaluating relevant patient symptoms and incorporate recall screening questions when appropriate.
• Risk Management: Document any suspected cases with potential connection to recalled products and report through appropriate channels to strengthen post-market surveillance.
• Action Items: Advise patients to verify product information against recall details, discontinue use immediately if matched, and return products to purchase location for refund or replacement.
