Over 25K Cases of Starbucks Frappuccinos Recalled Due to Possible Glass Fragments

Thousands of cases of Starbucks bottled vanilla Frappuccinos are being recalled because they may contain pieces of glass.

The news was per Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials, NPR reported Monday, stating, “Each of the 25,200 cases contains 12 bottles, bringing the total number of bottles recalled to 302,400.”

In its notice, the FDA said the products’ expiration dates are March 8, 2023, May 29, 2023, June 4, 2023, and June 10, 2023.

Consumers will not find that specific beverage in Starbucks stores, but it is sold by businesses including Target, Amazon, Walmart, and Safeway, the NPR article noted, adding PepsiCo partners with Starbucks to distribute such items.

The FDA’s notice deemed the recall a Class II, and said it is a “situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”

A few days after its debut, the corporation told locations to pull, discard, and not donate the food item.

In 2019, UPI reported Starbucks recalled one of its French presses available to customers once reports came in it could cut or puncture individuals who used it, according to officials.

“The recall affects about 230,000 Bodum + Starbucks Recycled Coffee Presses sold in the United States and about 33,200 in Canada,” the outlet said, adding, “There were eight reports of injuries in the United States and one in Canada.”
