    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

        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!

        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.

      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.

      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.
