Dollar General Recalls Coffee in Texas Over Possible Glass Contamination

Coffee drinkers, you'll want to check your pantries for coffee sold at Dollar General locations, including stores in Texas, as the grounds may be contaminated with glass pieces.

Health Risks of Consuming Glass-Contaminated Products

Drinking glass shards is obviously a bad idea, but can small pieces in coffee grounds really cause any harm?

Since the recall affects instant coffee, there's no filter, meaning small glass pieces could make it into your morning cups.

According to the FDA: "Ingesting glass fragments may cause injury to the consumer, and these injuries may include damage to teeth, laceration of the mouth and throat, or perforation of the intestine."

Additionally, you could cut yourself while handling the grounds.

This recall covers three lots of Clover Valley Instant Coffee in the 8-ounce size. There are the affected lot numbers, UPC, and Best by dates.
