FDA warns consumers in 41 states after Coffee Connexion recalls 913 cases of Alfredo sauce over salmonella risk from a dry milk powder ingredient. No illnesses reported.
Alpha Score of 43 reflects weak overall profile with moderate momentum, weak value, weak quality. Based on 3 of 4 signals — score is capped at 90 until remaining data ingests.
The Food and Drug Administration classified a recall of more than 900 cases of Alfredo sauce at its highest risk level. The product, sold by The Coffee Connexion Co., was recalled after a supplier flagged dry milk powder used in the sauce for potential salmonella contamination.
The FDA designated the recall as a Class I event. That classification means exposure to the product could cause serious health problems or death, the agency said. The FDA assigns this level when the risk is concrete, not theoretical.
The recall covers 913 cases, each containing a 3-pound, 7-ounce sealed poly bag. Twelve bags come per case. The affected product carries UPC 0039954921963 and includes batches with best-by dates from January through April 2028.
Distribution spanned 41 states, from Alabama to Wyoming, according to the FDA. The list covers most of the continental U.S., with noticeable gaps in the Pacific Northwest and parts of the Northeast.
Coffee Connexion, based in Lebanon, Tennessee, started the recall voluntarily on May 6. A supplier had recalled the dry milk powder ingredient due to salmonella concerns. The recall remains active. The FDA gave it the number H-0909-2026 on June 4.
No press release was issued, the FDA's enforcement report shows. The agency has not confirmed any illnesses connected to the product.
Salmonella infections can be severe for young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals typically experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Most recover without medical treatment.
The recall exposes a vulnerability common in private-label food supply chains: reliance on a single ingredient supplier. Coffee Connexion is a private company, so the financial impact is not public. No publicly traded company has reported exposure to this specific incident.
For anyone who bought the sauce, the FDA advises checking the UPC and batch numbers on the package. The agency recommends discarding the product or returning it to the place of purchase. The recall remains open, and no new update date has been set.
