Before We Talk Testing, Let's Talk Myths

Coffee has carried persistent health myths for decades, from claims that it “stunts growth” to concerns about heart health or digestive harm. Much of that narrative came from outdated research. Today, the scientific consensus is clearer. For most healthy adults, moderate coffee consumption is considered safe. Coffee isn’t for everyone however. We do not recommend it for children, and individuals who are managing medical conditions should consult a qualified doctor before making dietary changes

What about Mold and Mycotoxins?

So where do concerns about mold in coffee and mycotoxins in coffee come in? Coffee is an agricultural product. Like any crop, its safety depends on responsible sourcing, proper storage, and validated laboratory testing. Most crop-based foods, such as cereals, spices, nuts, fresh and dried fruits, juices and wines, meats, cocoa and chocolate, and yes, coffee beans, contain mold and mycotoxins. 

Does this mean your coffee is toxic? Of course not! In testing, scientists found that even if you drank the "dirtiest" coffee, you would have to consume gallons a day, to even come close to risking toxic levels. That being said, here at Fresh Roasted Coffee, we want you to trust whats in your cup.

Know Your Brews

At Fresh Roasted Coffee, serving up the best coffee starts at the source.

We work with farmers, co-ops, exporters, and trusted importers who follow established best practices, from growing to storing, reducing the risk of mold and mycotoxin development in coffee. But responsible sourcing is only part of the equation.

After these coffees are sourced, a certified third-party food safety laboratory tests for traceable amounts of mold, mycotoxins, and pesticides.

While proper handling and testing dramatically reduces risk, you won’t hear us use terms like “mold-free” or “clean coffee.” Those phrases are not honest or based in scientific fact.

What you will hear from us is this:

We source carefully. We store properly. We test responsibly and back up our claims with measurable data. So you can brew with confidence and drink coffee you can trust.

  • If you are taking the time to "know your brew" and understand the truth around mold and mycotoxins - then coffee is absolutely safe to consume. Many recent studies have found that it may even be beneficial to your health. 

  • While we don't recommend drinking 25 cups a day (even though a recent study said it's OKAY to do so), your daily dose won't hurt you. Quite the opposite!

  • Drinking moderate amounts of coffee is linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, and neurological diseases. It can encourage your body to burn fat and improve brain function. Enjoying coffee that has been tested for mold and mycotoxins just further enhances the wellness benefits.
