A new cold brew recall affects more than 3,000 gallons distributed in two states.
The recalled cold brew may contain Clostridium botulinum, the bacterium that causes botulism.
If you have it, do not drink the recalled cold brew, and monitor for symptoms of botulism.
There’s a new warning for cold brew drinkers: More than 3,000 gallons of the popular coffee drink were just recalled over the risk of botulism.
Earlier this month, Brooklyn Roasting Works LLC pulled the product from shelves in two states after discovering that the cold brew’s storage conditions could allow the formation of Clostridium botulinum—bacteria that cause botulism, a rare but potentially deadly illness.
On July 21, the recall was given the second-highest risk level, Class II, meaning the cold brew is unlikely to cause serious health issues, but could lead to temporary or reversible effects.

What You Should Do
The Food and Drug Administration did not provide specific instructions for this recall. However, as a Class II recall, the safest option is not to consume the recalled cold brew. If you have it in your fridge, toss or return it.
If you think you’ve consumed contaminated cold brew, monitor for symptoms of foodborne botulism, such as vomiting, nausea, stomach pain, and diarrhea.
Go to your doctor or the emergency room right away if you experience botulism symptoms after drinking the recalled cold brew—botulism is a medical emergency.
