Coffee Food Poisoning

Coffee, whether brewed at home or store-bought, could be a source of food poisoning. In-home coffee makers could have mold or bacteria growing in the water reservoir resulting in infection and illness, whereas coffee products bought in-store could contain contaminated milk or flavorings, also resulting in illness.
