New Mexico Pinon Coffee Recalls Single-Serve Cups Due to Contamination Concerns

New Mexico Pinon Coffee is recalling its single-serve cups due to contamination concerns. The FDA found that the clear coat seal on the lid of the cups did not get applied consistently, which could cause food coloring to run into the cup during brewing. No reports of illnesses or injuries have been received, but the company is recalling the product out of caution. The affected batch is about 154 Dark Pinon 10ct Single Serve cups, which were sold on Amazon. Consumers are asked to either throw away or return the product for a refund.

New Mexico Pinon Coffee has voluntarily recalled a specific lot of its single-serve Dark Pinon coffee cups due to potential ink contamination issues. The recall, which was announced on [July 02, 2025], affects a limited batch of 154 Dark Pinon 10ct Single Serve cups with a best-by date of 05/08/2026 and a product number of F03308 [1].

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) identified that the clear coat seal on the lid of the cups was not applied consistently during the production run. This inconsistency led to food-safe ink seeping into the coffee when brewed, potentially causing contamination. The company has stated that no illnesses or injuries have been reported, but the recall is being conducted out of an abundance of caution [1].

The affected product was sold on Amazon, and consumers are advised to either dispose of the product or return it to the retailer for a refund. New Mexico Pinon Coffee has assured customers that the issue is isolated and that no other products have been impacted by the recall [1].

The recall has been classified as a Class III, indicating that the situation is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The company has taken steps to refine its production process to prevent such issues in the future [1].
