Coffee Sold in New Jersey Dollar General Stores Recalled

Ever since the American Colonies protested the British Tea Tax with the Boston Tea Party, the most popular non-alcoholic drink in the United States has become coffee over the last 200 years.

National Coffee Data Trends show that 67 percent of Americans drink coffee daily. Studies have revealed that drinking two to three cups of coffee every day will result in many health benefits.

In today's busy world, not everyone has the time and patience to roast their own coffee daily. But the demand for fast coffee options has opened the door for controversial coffee bean roasting and the use of dangerous ingredients inserted into the coffee grinds.

The Latest Recall Involves New Jersey Customers

According to a detailed statement from the United States Food and Drug Administration, Dollar General has made a Voluntary Recall of a specific brand of Instant Coffee.

The Clover Valley Instant Coffee sold between July 9-21 is being recalled after Dollar General was alerted to the presence of glass in the coffee grinds. The eight-ounce containers of coffee were sold in 48 states, including New Jersey.

The three lots of the Clover Valley Instant Coffee that have been found to be contaminated have the following labels:

*L-5163 and L-5164, Best By date of 12/13/2026
*L-5165, Best by of 12/14/2026

There are approximately 142 Dollar General locations in New Jersey. The Clover Valley Instant Coffee is one of the top coffee sellers at Dollar General stores.
