What’s the Problem?
September 21, 2017 - According to an FDA Recall Notice [1] issued Tuesday, all 11-ounce Nitro Cold Brew cans of Death Wish were processed in a way that “could lead to the growth and production of the deadly toxin, botulin.”
Botulin causes botulism in humans, producing symptoms including “general weakness, dizziness, double-vision and trouble with speaking or swallowing... [and] difficulty breathing,” according to the FDA. Anyone experiencing these symptoms after drinking Death Wish Nitro Cold Brew should seek immediate medical care.
