Keurig K-Cups Recalled Due to Potential Ink Contamination

FRIDAY, July 25, 2025 (HealthDay News) — Keurig K-Cups are being recalled nationwide due to a packaging issue that could cause ink to run into the coffee during brewing.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a voluntary recall of New Mexico Piñon Coffee“s Dark Pinon Single Serve Cups because the seal on the lid of the cups was not applied consistently to all cups in the production run.

“This resulted in the food safe ink printing on some cups to run when exposed to high temperature, high-pressure water used in a K-cup machine,” the FDA stated in the recall notice.

So far, Albuquerque-based New Mexico Piñon Coffee has not received any reports of illness or injury associated with the recall.

“We are voluntarily recalling this product out [of] an abundance of caution,” company President Matthew Bregar said in a news release.

The recalled single-serve cups are packaged in a 10-count box with product number F03308; UPC 812361033081; lot code 251749; and a best-by date of May 8, 2026.

Customers should throw out the affected K-Cups or return them to the place of purchase for a refund.

Those with questions should contact New Mexico Piñon Coffee”s customer service line at 505-298-1964.
