It's coffee that's been brewed then canned in a soda can. Your whole bean and pre-ground coffee that comes in a bag is fine.
- Pre-ground coffee was commonly sold in metal cans that required a can opener.
  
  True, but you're not going to pop the top on one of those then start sipping.
Cotton Headed Ninny Muggins is the most racist-sounding thing I’ve ever heard that isn’t actually racist.
- It’s from the movie Elf
  
  A classic. Why didn’t I remember that?
Would love to see the prices of all these since they are all essentially the same product.
- Maybe in the sense that Coke and Pepsi are the same product. From reading their website it looks like they partner with different roasters to make canned cold brew.
Are these all local roasters? I don't recognize any of them.
Edit: How silly of me. I should have guessed that the 100+ "brands" were all the same exact product made by one company.
- Seems midwest-y. I only recognize 2, but there is a St. Louis one and Snapchill is based out of Green Bay WI
  
  No, I have a subscription to Brandywine - they're based out of Wilmington, Delaware.
  It looks like what happened is that the roasters listed didn't inform the FDA properly of their roasting processes, which led the FDA to assume that the coffee may be a vector that is conducive to botulism.
  No cases were reported because of this, but the recall is out of an abundance of safety.
  
  I completely skipped over Snapchill somehow, even though that's in the beginning of the article and responsible for all of it lol.
  Funny aside, I have not had coffee today!
- There’s contract bottlers that do that for regional breweries and soda companies too. Probably the same with coffee products.
  
  I know. Most store brands are all the same products. Sometimes my mind drifts into a better world though. One with hope for a brighter future.
- Seems to me like a white label system. Like all the bullshit copypasta Amazon brands, or home appliances like dehumidifiers.
  
  That's exactly what it is. This one company is just the white lable producer for regional coffees.
- Yeah at least one is a local coffee chain in my city. They used to be good then opened more stores with lower quality product and staff/ union issues. Not surprised their canned coffee is basically the same as a bunch of others.
Mocha Joe! I fucking knew it! Cold coffee and cakey scones!
- He's got the beans
NOT MY GAY AWAKENING COFFEE BY DRAG BEAN! NOOOOOOO!
This article is actually wild—did they even list a single one of the products being recalled in the actual article?
I see links and the conglomerate company name, but zero of the actual products without clicking through to a PDF or something
- Most likely. Happens everywhere. MGP does this for whiskey and no one really notices unless you’re dialed into it those products
