Death Wish Coffee Recalled for Botulism Risk

Death Wish Coffee Co., a coffee producer based in Round Lake, New York, is known for advertising the “world’s strongest coffee.” On September 17, 2017, the company recalled all 11-oz Death Wish Nitro Cold Brew Canned Coffee due to a risk of botulism.

What is the problem?

No illnesses were linked to the recalled Death Wish Nitro Cold Brew, but botulism can potentially cause suffocation, paralysis and death.

The recall was issued after an outside manufacturing Process Authority determined that the current process for making nitro canned coffee could lead to the growth and production of the deadly toxin, botulin, in canned nitro coffee and other low-acid foods in reduced-oxygen packaging.

Death Wish has stopped production of Nitro Cold Brew until they can implement a new manufacturing step to reduce the risk of botulism.

Mike Brown, owner and founder of Death Wish, said everyone who bought the recalled coffee online will receive a refund within 60 days. He also issued the following statement:

“Our customers’ safety is of paramount importance and Death Wish Coffee is taking this significant, proactive step to ensure that the highest quality, safest, and of course, strongest Coffee products we produce are of industry-exceeding standards.”
