A popular brand of coffee creamer is under scrutiny after a recall was issued due to customer complaints about spoilage and illness. International Delight, known for its flavored creamers, has recalled over 12,500 cases of two specific varieties: Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll and Hazelnut. These products were sold in 31 states, including major markets like Florida, Texas, and New York.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classified this recall as a Class II risk. This means that while consuming the affected products may cause temporary health issues, they are not expected to lead to serious harm. The recall began on February 21, and as of now, there is no set date for when it will officially end.
International Delight’s parent company, Danone North America, acknowledged the concerns raised by consumers. A representative stated that the company is aware of a texture issue affecting the creamers. Despite these complaints, testing has shown that there is no food safety risk associated with the products.
The affected creamers have specific best-by dates: the Hazelnut creamer is marked for July 2, while the Cinnabon variety is dated July 3. Both products share the same plant code, 51-4114 S.
Danone has emphasized its commitment to quality and consumer safety, stating, "We take every concern to heart, because this is not the quality we strive for." The company decided to initiate this recall out of caution while they work to resolve the quality issues.
Consumers who purchased these creamers are advised to check their products against the recall details. The recall affects a wide range of states, including Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, and many others. If you have these creamers at home, it might be best to discard them or return them to the store for a refund.
