Ground coffee contains cockroach particles

January 16, 2025

Ground coffee contains cockroach particles - they were found in almost every package. The insects get in during the collection and processing of the beans. The U.S. Department of Health warns that each package of coffee may consist of cockroaches or other insects up to 10%. Cockroaches themselves are not harmful to human health, but if you are allergic to shellfish, you might feel sick due to the tropomyosin protein.
