Green Mountain Coffee Recalls Tully's Decaf K-Cup Packs Due to Caffeine Contamination

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters is recalling Tully's House Blend Decaffeinated K-Cup Packs because regular caffeinated packs were mistakenly included in decaffeinated retail boxes.

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: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which indicates a remote possibility of adverse health consequences. The hazard involves caffeine mislabeling in a decaffeinated product, which is a labeling error rather than a high-risk pathogen or structural defect.
