Why is mold in coffee dangerous?Updated 9 months ago

At Danger Coffee, we prioritize the quality and safety of our coffee. One issue in the coffee industry that we take seriously is the presence of mold in coffee. Let's talk about why it's harmful.

Why is mold in coffee dangerous?

Mold in coffee can produce mycotoxins - harmful compounds that can lead to health problems. Consuming coffee with mold can potentially cause symptoms like headaches, nausea, and other digestive issues. In rare cases, it could lead to more severe health complications.

How does Danger Coffee prevent and test against mold?

We use stringent quality control measures to ensure our coffee is mold-free. We start by buying Specialty Association Coffee (SCA) which by default, is mold free. We then use a 3rd party lab to test each batch of coffee for mycotoxins and abide by the EU standards which has the strictest possible standards. We do not process or purchase any coffee which has any trace of mycotoxins present. Rest assured, with Danger Coffee, you're choosing a product that values your health.

If you have any further concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. Your health and satisfaction are our top priority!
