A Popular Starbucks drink has been recalled due to fears it may contain pieces of metal.
Pepsico Inc is recalling specific Starbucks Vanilla Espresso Triple Shot beverages due to possible contamination, according to FoodSafetyNews.
An FDA enforcement report, which was issued on August 15 and remains ongoing, revealed the reason for the recall was "possible contamination by foreign material (metal fragments)."
The product recall applies to 15oz bottles of Starbucks Vanilla Espresso Triple Shot, which are sold in cases of 12 bottles.
Pepsico Incorporation, which is based out of Purchase, New York, is issuing the recall for 221 cases of the beverage.
This means 2,652 bottles have been recalled.
The recalled product was distributed in Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Oklahoma and Texas.
The recall number is F-1724-2022 and it is labeled as classification II.
Anyone who has purchased the recalled beverage is urged to stop consuming the product and return it to where it was purchased.
"Foodborne foreign objects that are hard and sharp are likely to cause serious injury or dental injury," Food Safety News warns.
However, the recall information doesn't explain what potential injuries could occur.
BGR warns that a "theoretical risk of adverse effects" exists for consumers with Vanilla Espresso Triple Shot bottles at hand.
For example, when DF Stauffer Biscuit Corporation. issued a recent recall about a dessert product with possible metal contaminants the company explained what could happen if it were ingested.
"Foodborne foreign objects that are hard, sharp, and large are more likely to cause serious injury or dental injury," the company explains, as per BGR.
"Foodborne foreign objects that are flexible, not sharp, and smaller in length are more likely to cause minor injuries such as transient choking or small lacerations in the gastrointestinal system."
Meanwhile, the report notes that the recalled product is in bottles, not cans, so the Starbucks Triple Shot canned drink, shared by BGR and on this page doesn't match the product description on the enforcement report.
This recall comes after Starbucks quietly pulled a new food item from its menu after customers complained of falling sick.
And last month, cookies sold at Target were also recalled due to fears they contained metal fragments.
The product recall applied to 44oz packs of Market Pantry White Fudge Animal Cookies, which are sold in a bear-shaped plastic jug.
