Coffee Creamer Recall: If you’re a coffee lover who depends on that morning creamer, there’s an important recall alert you need to know about. Danone U.S. has recalled over 10,000 bottles of its popular International Delight Zero Sugar Peppermint Mocha coffee creamer due to a mislabeling issue. While labeled as “zero sugar,” these bottles actually contain sugar, presenting a potential issue for consumers closely managing their sugar intake.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued the recall notice on October 12, affecting bottles available in Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, New Mexico, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin. The recall only impacts 32-ounce bottles of the Zero Sugar Peppermint Mocha with a best-by date of February 25, 2025.

What You Need to Know About the Recall

This recall is classified as a Class II recall by the FDA, meaning the product could cause “temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.” This classification highlights the significance for consumers managing dietary restrictions, as consuming mislabeled products could disrupt strict health regimens. However, there is no direct health risk for those who are not closely watching their sugar intake.

International Delight’s “Home Alone” Collection

The recalled creamer is part of International Delight’s festive “Home Alone” holiday lineup, released in stores since July 2024. Other flavors in the collection, such as Hot Chocolate Marshmallow and Frosted Sugar Cookie, remain unaffected by this recall.

What Should You Do If You Have This Product?

Consumers who have purchased the affected creamer can return it to the store of purchase for a full refund. The FDA advises those managing their sugar intake, especially for health reasons, to avoid using this product, as it may not meet dietary requirements. While no illnesses have been reported related to this recall, experts advise consumers to take precautions due to the risk of adverse health effects from unexpected sugar intake.
