How To Identify the Recalled Canned Coffees
The canned coffees were distributed nationwide through various coffee roasters and retail locations. They were also sold directly online from Snapchill, although to date, the company’s website makes no mention of the voluntary recall.

The canned coffees were sold under various roaster and brand names in can sizes ranging from 7 ounces to 12 ounces. The FDA lists the specific products, over 250 of them, that fall under the recall.

There are over 100 brand names associated with the recall. All products contain the language “Produced and distributed by Snapchill LLC” under the nutrition facts panel on the can. The recall is for all products on the list, regardless of purchase date or expiration date (snip)

Something weird about this voluntary recall...(a form wasn't submitted?)

1. Working FDA link...

2. Brands list...

I gather it may not be all inclusive, since there may be some bulk sales which are repackaged.

3. So many brand names, doesn't anyone roast their own anymore?

5. But, but, but... That would require having more than a "brand". n/t

4. Jim Gafffigan wondered how did coffee get so complicated?

Cereal is the same way in the Market. So many now they have a whole isle for it.

6. Is there a patent dispute going on? Sounds like the lead in the unchecked cinnamon thing but no "victims"?

Why would the Snapchill team not have filed the required FDA form? Is a voluntary recall of all the inventory sold or unsold cheaper than the fine for failing to file? Was this one of his "failure" ideas?
