A New Mexico coffee company is recalling its single-serve cups due to contamination concerns.
The company, New Mexico Pinon Coffee, said it is voluntarily recalling one lot of its New Mexico Pinon Coffee Dark Pinon Single Serve Cups in a 10-count box. The single-serve cups are filled with ground coffee flavored with natural flavorings. The affected batch is about 154 Dark Pinon 10ct Single Serve cups.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) described the issue, saying the clear coat seal on the lid of the single-serve cups did not get applied consistently to all cups in the production run and could cause food coloring to run into the cup during brewing.
