Urban River Spirits Velvet Cocoa and Caramel Mixer Recalled for Potential Under-Processing

Urban River Spirits voluntarily recalls Velvet Cocoa and Caramel cocktail mixer due to potential under-processing from manufacture in an unlicensed, uninspected facility. Product distributed across 11 states.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class III recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is theoretical (potential under-processing). Per the rubric, Class III recalls are typically scored 1 or 2. The regulatory violation of manufacturing in an unlicensed, uninspected facility justifies a Moderate score rather than Low.
