Urgent Recall: New Mexico Piñon Coffee Urges Customers to Dispose of Affected Pods
Dubai, July 24, 2025 (QW) — New Mexico Piñon Coffee has issued an urgent voluntary recall of 154 units of its Single Serve Cups (10-count boxes) due to a manufacturing issue involving unintended food coloring during the brewing process.
The affected products are marked with Product Number: F03308, UPC: 812361033081, lot code: 251749, and a best-by date of May 8, 2026.
Although the pods were distributed through major retailers including Walmart and Target, the company has not specified exactly which locations received the impacted units.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified this as a Class III recall, the least severe type, indicating that the issue is not likely to cause adverse health consequences. So far, there have been no reports of injury or illness.
In a statement, Matthew Bregar, President of New Mexico Piñon Coffee, explained:
“While the issue was isolated and poses no health risk, it didn’t meet the standard of excellence you’ve come to expect from us. We’ve already addressed the issue and taken steps to refine our process moving forward.”
Consumers who purchased the affected pods are urged to immediately dispose of them or return the product to the point of purchase for a full refund.
This incident follows a previous recall earlier this year involving 692 units of decaffeinated coffee that were mistakenly filled with full-strength coffee, posing potential risks to individuals with heart conditions or high blood pressure.
The coffee recall also comes on the heels of broader food and product safety alerts, including the recent recall of over 100,000 ice cream bars across 23 U.S. states due to potential listeria contamination, and widespread automobile recalls, such as Ford’s recall of 850,000 vehicles over fuel pump issues.
