Nearly 11,000 bottles of International Delight coffee creamer have been voluntarily recalled due to a labeling mistake, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The recall, initiated by Danone U.S., impacts 1,799 cases—or 10,794 individual bottles—of International Delight’s “Home Alone” Peppermint Mocha Zero Sugar coffee creamer. Though the bottles were labeled as “zero sugar,” the creamer does contain sugar. According to the FDA, the affected coffee creamer bottles have a best-by date of Feb. 25, 2025, and were distributed to and sold in 13 states, all listed below: ArkansasGeorgiaIllinoisIndianaIowaKentuckyMississippiNebraskaNew MexicoOklahomaTennesseeTexasWisconsin Though the recall was initiated on Oct. 12, 2024, the FDA classified the recall as class 2 on Monday. A class 2 recall means “there is a remote probability of adverse health consequences from use of the product.”The FDA hasn’t reported any illnesses caused by the affected coffee creamer, but the recall could be dangerous for people who manage or limit their sugar intake. For instance, when people with diabetes unknowingly consume sugar—thinking they’re eating or drinking a sugar-free product—it could put them at risk for hyperglycemia. “Caffeine can spike blood sugar independently, but the additional misinformation around these products and their sugar content makes things even more difficult for people struggling with controlling their blood sugars,” Arti Thangudu, MD, board-certified endocrinologist and founder of Complete Medicine, told Health. “I hope this recall leads to more responsible marketing practices for all companies and perhaps encourages people living with diabetes to seek whole food options over ones with uncertain ingredients,” she said. The FDA did not report how much sugar is in the recalled product. The regular International Delight Peppermint Mocha contains 5 grams of added sugars per 1 tablespoon serving. The recalled product, part of International Delight’s “Home Alone” holiday line, hit shelves in July, so the affected coffee creamer may still be tucked away in your fridge. If you have the recalled coffee creamer and you’re concerned about its sugar content, the FDA advises throwing it away or returning the product to where it was purchased for a refund. The product is otherwise safe to consume. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why!
