CHIEFS at a popular coffee brand have recalled one of its products over fears that food coloring may have seeped into cups.
Shoppers should check their bags and have been urged to throw away the product at risk.
New Mexico Pinon Coffee products are sold at retailers such as Walmart and Target, and the brand recalled its single-serve pods.
It’s feared ink may have seeped into the product.
The product that has been recalled is its Single Serve box of 10 cups.
And, it has a best by date of May 2026.
More than 150 units of the product have been impacted.
The recall was issued on June 20 and bosses at the Food and Drug Administration revealed why they issued the order.
It appears that there was a production fault, according to the FDA.
This meant a clear coat seal for lids didn’t get applied consistently.
And, this caused the ink to run when exposed to high temperatures.
Bosses at New Mexico Pinon Coffee issued the recall out of an “abundance of caution.”
And, they’ve stressed that only one product has been recalled.
Shoppers who bought the product should either throw it out, or go back to their local store for a refund.
The FDA have classified the recall as a Class III.
This means that consuming the product isn’t likely to pose a serious health risk.
The FDA has three variants of recall – Class I, II, and III.
Class one recalls are issued when a product could cause serious health risks if it’s consumed.
Meanwhile, a toy bike is being recalled over fears that children could be exposed to lead.
Bosses at the US Consumer Product Safety Commission warned that lead is toxic and can cause serious health issues.
Lead exposure can cause damage to the brain and nervous system.
It can also cause children to experience behavior and learning problems in school.
Children who have been exposed to lead may underperform compared to their peers.
The symptoms of lead exposure are not obvious.
