Millions of Coconut Water Cans Recalled Over Potential Health Risk: Is Your State Affected?

Share news:

A Texas-based beverage company is recalling more than two million cans of coconut water, and here’s why you should know about it. Tipp Distributors, Inc., better known as Novamex, announced on November 4 that they are pulling their Jarritos Coconut Water from store shelves. The problem? The lids on the cans might not be properly sealed.

In total, 169,438 cases—equivalent to a staggering 2,033,256 cans—are affected. These cans were distributed across 29 states, including Florida, Texas, New York, and California. Novamex found that the seals on the cans may have been compromised, which could allow contaminants to get inside. So far, no illnesses have been reported, but the company is taking this step out of caution.

The recall has been classified as Class II by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This means the product might cause temporary or reversible health issues, though the chances of serious problems are low.

Here’s what makes this serious: when the seal on a can isn’t airtight, it can let harmful bacteria grow inside. Experts warn that this could lead to foodborne illnesses. In extreme cases, bacteria like Clostridium botulinum could develop. This bacterium produces a deadly toxin that can cause botulism, a rare but potentially life-threatening illness. Botulism can lead to muscle paralysis and even breathing issues. While these bacteria thrive in oxygen-free environments like sealed cans, the problem arises when the seal fails.

For now, Novamex is urging anyone who bought these 17.5-ounce cans of Jarritos Coconut Water to stop drinking them immediately. Customers can return the cans to the store where they purchased them for a full refund or simply throw them away. If you have any questions, Novamex has set up a customer service hotline at 1-888-668-2639.

If you’ve already consumed the product and start feeling unwell, it’s best to contact your doctor right away.

This recall might seem like a hassle, but it’s a reminder of the importance of food safety. It’s always better to be cautious when there’s even the slightest risk. Stay safe, and keep an eye on your pantry!
