A recent recall by Danone U.S. has raised eyebrows—and concerns—among coffee enthusiasts and health-conscious consumers alike.
More than 10,000 bottles of International Delight coffee creamer have been pulled from shelves across 13 states that could affect individuals monitoring their sugar intake.
The product in question is the International Delight “Home Alone” Peppermint Mocha Zero Sugar coffee creamer.
Despite its “zero sugar” label, it turns out that the creamer does, in fact, contain sugar.
This misbranding prompted the recall on October 12, affecting stores in:
If you're a resident of one of these states and have purchased the Zero Sugar variety of this holiday-themed creamer since July, it's time to check your fridge.
The specific best-by date to look out for is February 25, 2025.
It's important to note that no other “Home Alone” creamers, such as the regular Peppermint Mocha, Hot Chocolate Marshmallow, and Frosted Sugar Cookie, are included in this recall.
For those who have the recalled coffee creamer at home, you can return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
The FDA has not reported any illnesses related to the recalled product, but if you're managing your sugar intake for health reasons, consuming this creamer could be risky.
For everyone else, the creamer is still safe to consume—just remember that it isn't sugar-free.
The confusion seems to stem from either a labeling error where the regular Peppermint Mocha, which contains five grams of sugar per serving, was labeled as “zero sugar,” or the Zero Sugar Peppermint Mocha had sugar inadvertently added to it.
In either case, if you're watching your sugar levels, it's best to err on the side of caution and either dispose of the creamer or return it.
