1) Cheese Sauce Mix Recall: What To Do

coffee connexion recall notices went out in June 2026 after a supplier ingredient problem surfaced. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration classified the action as Class I. That is the agency’s most serious category. The Coffee Connexion Co., Inc recalled several cheese sauce mix products. The reason was a dry milk powder ingredient recalled by the supplier over potential Salmonella contamination. If you buy food service ingredients, this matters to you. Salmonella can cause serious illness in some people.

What the Coffee Connexion Recall Covers

The coffee connexion recall covers three cheese sauce mix products. The first is Cheese Sauce Mix in 25.5 oz. size. It was packaged in a sealed poly bag. Cases held 12 bags each. The UPC is 0399549125016. Check any case labels you still have on hand.

The second product is Cheese Sauce Mix in a 25 lb. size. It came in a tied poly bag. Each case held one bag. The UPC is 0039954924308. This is a bulk food service size. As a result, it is more likely to sit in a restaurant or institutional kitchen than a home pantry.

The third product is Creamier Cheese Sauce Mix in 25 lb. size. It also came in a tied poly bag. Cases held two bags. The agency record for this item, as published, is truncated in the packaging line. However, the product name and size are clear enough to identify it.

The coffee connexion recall affects 1,553 units in total. The recall number is H-0907-2026. The event date on the record is June 10, 2026. Retail-level distribution details are not spelled out in the record shown here. For example, if you run a kitchen, check invoices and supplier records rather than guessing.

The Hazard and Reported Injuries

The hazard is potential Salmonella contamination. It comes from a dry milk powder ingredient. That ingredient was recalled by the supplier. In most cases, contamination like this is found through testing rather than illness reports. The recall is precautionary in that sense. However, the risk is treated seriously.

Salmonella is a bacterium that causes salmonellosis. Typical symptoms include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Most healthy people recover within about a week. However, some cases become severe. Young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems face higher risk. In rare cases the bacteria enter the bloodstream. That can lead to more serious infections.

The agency record does not state whether any injuries or illnesses were reported. We will not claim either way. That absence is not proof of safety, and it is not proof of harm. It simply means the record does not say. Do not treat silence as an all-clear.

The Class I designation is the key detail here. Class I means there is a reasonable probability that use of the product could cause serious health consequences or death. That is the FDA’s highest severity tier. As a result, the coffee connexion recall should be handled promptly.

What To Do If You Own This Product

Stop using the product first. Do not taste it to check. Cooking may reduce risk, but that is not a reliable safety plan. Salmonella contamination is not something to test at home. Set the product aside and label it clearly so nobody uses it by mistake.

Next, identify what you have. Match the product name and size against the list above. Compare the UPC on the package to 0399549125016 or 0039954924308. Bulk 25 lb. bags may have labels attached to the tie or printed on the bag. For example, a food service kitchen should also pull purchase invoices.

The remedy instructions in the agency record do not match the recalled product, so we are not repeating them here. That would risk giving you wrong directions. Instead, follow the instructions in the official notice linked on this page. The FDA enforcement report listing is the authoritative source for that step.

You can also contact The Coffee Connexion Co., Inc directly. Ask about the specific product code you hold. Keep a record of the conversation. Typically, it helps to photograph the packaging, the UPC, and any lot or date codes before you dispose of anything. Those photos can matter later if questions arise.

Finally, watch for symptoms if you already consumed the product. Salmonella symptoms usually begin between six hours and six days after exposure. Contact a doctor if symptoms are severe or persistent. High fever, bloody stool, and signs of dehydration warrant prompt medical care.

Does a Coffee Connexion Recall Mean You Can Sue?

A recall is not a lawsuit. That distinction matters. A recall is a safety action. It removes a product from the market or corrects a defect. It is a regulatory and business step, not a court finding. No court has decided fault simply because a recall exists.

The coffee connexion recall, on its own, is not a legal claim. Nobody receives money because a recall was announced. In most cases, a product liability claim requires more. You generally need an actual injury. You also need a link between that injury and the specific product. Lawyers call that causation.

We are not aware of any lawsuit filed over this particular recall. We are not claiming one exists. If you were harmed after using a recalled product, you may be eligible to pursue a claim. That is a maybe, not a promise. Nobody can tell you that you are owed anything without reviewing the facts.

Talk to a licensed attorney in your state if you believe you were injured. Bring your medical records, receipts, and product photos. Time limits apply to injury claims, and they vary by state. However, no outcome is guaranteed in any case. An attorney can tell you whether your facts support a claim at all.

How Recalls Connect to Mass Tort Cases

Recalls sometimes become evidence in later litigation. They can show what a company knew and when. They can also show the scope of a problem. For example, the Philips CPAP recall in 2021 involved sound abatement foam that could degrade. That recall was followed by consolidated federal litigation involving thousands of claims.

The Takata airbag inflator recalls followed a similar pattern. Those recalls grew into one of the largest automotive recall events in U.S. history. Litigation followed. However, the recall itself was never the claim. It was background. Individual plaintiffs still had to prove injury and causation in their own cases.

The same logic applies to food recalls. A Class I designation shows the agency viewed the risk as serious. Typically, that record is one document among many in any case that follows. The coffee connexion recall may never produce litigation at all. Most recalls do not.
