Attention coffee lovers: a popular brand has just pulled a product off the shelves due to a surprising quality issue.

According to the Daily Mail, New Mexico Pinon Coffee has voluntarily recalled 154 units of its single-serve cups sold in 10-count boxes after discovering potential food coloring contamination during the brewing process.

This recall targets specific products labeled 'Product Number: F03308 UPC: 812361033081' from lot code 251749, with a best-by date of May 8, 2026.

Details of the Coffee Pod Recall

The affected coffee pods were distributed through major retailers like Walmart and Target, though the company hasn’t specified the exact locations of the recalled items.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has designated this as a Class III recall, indicating a low risk of serious health consequences.

Thankfully, no injuries or illnesses have been reported in connection with this issue.

What Should Consumers Do Next?

If you’ve purchased these pods, the company urges you to dispose of them immediately or return them to the store for a full refund.

"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," stated Matthew Bregar, president of Pinon Coffee.

"We've already addressed the issue and taken steps to refine our process moving forward," Bregar added.

A Pattern of Food Safety Alerts

This isn’t the first time Pinon Coffee has faced a product issue; months ago, they recalled 692 cases of decaffeinated coffee due to a labeling error that resulted in full-strength coffee being sold, potentially risky for those with heart conditions or high blood pressure.

Food recalls seem to be on the rise this year, with other recent incidents including over 100,000 ice cream bars pulled across 23 states over listeria contamination fears, though no illnesses have been confirmed.

Consumers are right to be wary—these frequent recalls highlight the importance of vigilance when it comes to everyday purchases.

Beyond Food: Vehicle Recalls Surge Too

The trend of recalls extends beyond food, as vehicle manufacturers have initiated nearly 80 safety-related recalls as of July 2025.

Just this month, Ford recalled almost 850,000 vehicles in the U.S. due to concerns over engine stalls caused by failing low-pressure fuel pumps, following GM’s recall of 62,468 vehicles less than a month prior.

For financially savvy readers, these recalls—whether coffee or cars—serve as a reminder to prioritize quality and accountability in the brands you trust, while staying informed about the products you buy to protect both your health and your wallet.
