A popular coffee creamer has now been classified under the FDA’s highest risk alert — and it’s something that could have serious consequences for some Montanans.

Coffee Creamer Recalled in Montana

Momo Tea Inc. has issued a recall of its MO-CHA brand Premium Non-Dairy Creamer, after it was discovered that the product contains undeclared milk ingredients.

This hidden milk content poses a severe risk to anyone with a milk allergy — a risk that could lead to serious health consequences or even death.

Earlier this week, the FDA elevated the recall to a Class I designation—their highest level of urgency.

According to the FDA, a Class I recall means:

A situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

Where the Product Was Sold

The recalled MO-CHA creamers were manufactured in China but distributed in various parts of the United States, including Montana.

Roughly 4,500 cases were shipped to a handful of states, and although originally reported in the Northeast, it’s now confirmed that supply chains brought it to stores across Montana.

Each recalled package weighs 2.2 pounds and has a shelf life of two years — meaning these creamers could be sitting in Montana homes or businesses right now.

What to Do if You Bought It

If you purchased MO-CHA Premium Non-Dairy Creamer, the FDA advises you to stop using it immediately.

You should either:

• Throw it away, or

• Return it to the store where you bought it.

Do not risk consuming it, especially if you or someone in your household has a milk allergy.

More Coffee-Related Recalls Hitting Montana

This recall follows a recent wave of coffee-related warnings. Earlier this month, recalls were also issued for certain ground coffee brands and other popular creamers.

As coffee culture continues to grow in Montana — from cozy cafés in Bozeman to roadside diners in Butte — it’s crucial to stay alert for updates like these.

Your morning cup should be comforting, not dangerous.
