Popular coffee pods recalled over potential ink contamination
New Mexico Piñon Coffee has issued a voluntary recall for 154 boxes of its Dark Piñon Single Serve Cups due to potential food coloring contamination.
The recall, classified as Class III by the US Food and Drug Administration, is due to an inconsistent clear coat seal on the pods' lids, causing food-safe ink to run during brewing.
Affected products are 10-count boxes with a Best by Date of May 8, 2026, and lot code 251749, sold nationwide at major retailers including Target and Walmart.
Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, consumers are advised to dispose of the contaminated pods or return them to the place of purchase.
A company spokesperson stated the issue was isolated and posed no health risk, assuring that steps have been taken to refine their production process.
