Have you seen mold in your coffee? If so call SERVPRO.

I was away on Spring Break in North Carolina when someone began talking about mold in coffee.  Those two words together caught me by surprise because I LOVE coffee and I work in the mold remediation industry. The story that was being shared was about mycotoxins that can be present in coffee, which can come from molds found in the coffee beans before processing.  Most of us would agree that the thought of ingesting mycotoxins, mold or any chemicals can be harmful, so I did a little digging when I got home.

There are several websites that say any amount of any toxin is harmful to humans.  Many other websites debunk this as a myth, explaining that many foods have insignificant amounts of “toxins” in them and coffee is no different.  My take away was that, I will keep drinking my coffee unless I see Green fuzzy mold on top!!  You can research the web and decide for yourself.

If there is mold in your home, car or office you should just call SERVPRO of Annapolis/Severna Park at 410.647.8181
