In response to allegations of misbranding, Danone United States has begun the process of recalling more than 10,000 bottles of International Delight coffee creamer. The International Delight “Home Alone” Peppermint Mocha Zero Sugar coffee creamer is going to be recalled because, although being marketed as “zero sugar,” it really contains sugar. This is the reason why the recall is being issued.
On October 12, the coffee creamer that had been incorrectly labeled was removed from all retail outlets in the following states: Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, New Mexico, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Wisconsin. International Delight did not disclose the lot number of the coffee creamer that was recalled; however, the company did mention that the recall applies to all Peppermint Mocha Zero Sugar creamers that have a best-by date of February 25, 2025.
Since July, International Delight’s “Home Alone” holiday creamers have been available for purchase in shops. If you have bought the Zero Sugar type from any of the retailers located in those 13 states during the previous three months, you will want to verify the best-by label prior to making your purchase.
The Peppermint Mocha Zero Sugar creamer is the sole product that is affected by the recall. All of the other “Home Alone” creamers, such as the standard Peppermint Mocha, the Hot Chocolate Marshmallow, and the Frosted Sugar Cookie, have not been recalled.
You are eligible to get a complete refund if you bring the coffee creamer that has been recalled back to the store where you bought it. If you are attempting to manage the amount of sugar you eat for medical reasons, it may be harmful for you to drink the coffee creamer that has been recalled. The Food and Drug Administration has not documented any illnesses that have been caused by the creamer.
Despite the fact that the International Delight coffee creamer was recalled due to a misbranding issue, there is nothing intrinsically dangerous about the creamer that might potentially effect all customers. In the event that you are not attempting to restrict the amount of sugar that you consume, the creamer is still appropriate for consumption; nonetheless, you should keep in mind that it does not include “zero sugar.”
There is a lack of clarity over whether the standard International Delight Peppermint Mocha, which has five grams of sugar per serving, was incorrectly labeled as “zero sugar,” or if the Zero Sugar Peppermint Mocha had sugar added to it by mistake. Therefore, if you are trying to limit the amount of sugar you consume, it is best to either dispose of the creamer or send it back to get a refund.
