FOX Business’ Lydia Hu reports live from the New York Stock Exchange, demonstrating the specialized process of “coffee cupping” by elite coffee graders.
A New York‑based coffee company is recalling 2.5‑gallon bags of pasteurised cold‑brew concentrate sold in New York and New Jersey due to a botulism risk, the Food and Drug Administration said.
The recall was issued after the company discovered that room‑temperature storage could promote the growth of Clostridium botulinum, the bacteria that produces a potentially fatal toxin.
The affected products were distributed between April negocios of 1 and June 20, with best‑by dates ranging from June 3 to September 30.
Botulism is a rare but serious condition caused by a neurotoxin that attacks the body’s nerves. Symptoms typically develop 12–36 hours after ingestion and include difficulty swallowing, dry mouth, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, abdominal upset, breathing trouble, and paralysis.
544 Prompt medical attention is advised for anyone experiencing these symptoms.
The Brooklyn Roasting Company distributes its products through its cafés, other coffee shops, gourmet grocery stores, independent markets, and its online store.
The FDA stated that there have been no reported illnesses related to the cold‑brew product.
The company has not yet responded to requests for comment.
