Southwestern roaster recalls coffee pods due to defect that causes ink to bleed during brewing
One of New Mexico’s largest coffee roasters is recalling some of its single-serve Keurig cups due to a defect that can cause ink to bleed during the brewing process.
Last month, New Mexico Pinon Coffee initiated a voluntary recall of 154 units of its Dark Pinon Single Serve Keurig cups. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration labeled the incident a Class III recall Tuesday, meaning exposure is unlikely to cause “adverse health consequences.”
Recalled coffee pods were sold as part of a 10-count pack. They were part of lot code “251749” and were printed with a “Best Buy Date” of “05/08/2026.”
New Mexico Pinon Coffee sells its products nationwide at major retailers such as Walmart, Costco and Kroger stores.
The “clear coat seal” was not equally applied to all single-serve coffee pod lids, according to the FDA recall notice. This caused food-safe ink printed onto the affected cups “to run when exposed to high temperature, high-pressure water used in a K-cup machine.”
Consumers who have purchased the item should throw it away or return it to the original retailer for a refund. Those with questions can contact New Mexico Pinon Coffee at 505-298-1964.

Josh’s Saturday Night Forecast
NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – Calmer weather has moved back into the state this afternoon. Temperatures are slightly warmer across northwestern New Mexico, while southeastern areas are cooler thanks to the backdoor cold fronts that moved in on Friday. Breezier winds will return Sunday and will help kick off a warming trend across the state, along with an elevated fire threat in eastern New Mexico.
Warmer weather will continue building in across the state throughout the upcoming week. A few isolated rain chances will return Monday in parts of New Mexico, but some of that rain may evaporate before reaching the ground.
