What are the health risks?

The presence of mycotoxins in foodstuffs is a recognized health concern. These compounds, produced naturally by certain molds, can appear during improper drying or storage of green coffee before roasting. Repeated ingestion of these substances, even at low doses, can cause adverse effects on the liver, kidneys or immune system. Although the risk is considered low for isolated consumption, health authorities recommend no longer consume the products concerned and report immediately at the purchasing store.
