Death Wish Coffee Recalls Cold Brew Cans Due To Potentially Deadly Toxin Concerns

Upstate New York-based coffee brand Death Wish Coffee has recalled all of its Nitro Cold Brew canned coffees due to a slight risk of the toxin that can cause botulism.

In a statement on its website, the company wrote:

"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 - thus we are taking this measure of recalling all Death Wish Nitro cans from shelves."

Tests performed by Cornell labs showed a slight risk of the toxin Clostridium botulinum, which causes botulism. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, botulism attacks the nerves and can cause muscle weakness and difficulty breathing, which can lead to death.
