The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a voluntary recall of certain Clover Valley® instant coffee products sold at Dollar General stores in 48 states. The decision follows a customer report of possible glass particles in some containers.
No injuries have been reported, but the FDA advises that consuming products with foreign material could pose a safety risk. Customers are urged to stop using the affected coffee immediately.
The recalled product is packaged in 8-ounce containers and can be identified by the following lot numbers: L-5163, L-5164, and L-5165, with best-by dates of 12/13/2026 or 12/14/2026.
Consumers should check their packaging and return any matching items to Dollar General for a full refund. More details, including store locations and product information, are available on the retailer’s official website.
Dollar General operates more than 20,500 stores nationwide, meaning the recall may affect a significant number of customers. The company emphasized that customer safety is its top priority and confirmed it is working closely with the FDA.
This announcement comes as the FDA has recently issued recalls for other coffee products over unrelated concerns, such as labeling errors. Officials encourage shoppers to review recall notices regularly and verify product labels before use.
Anyone with concerns about potential consumption of the recalled product should contact a healthcare provider for guidance.
