Coffee is the world’s second-most widely consumed psychoactive substance, so it should come as no surprise that it contains mycotoxins and mold toxins, though many believe its consumption to be harmless. Although many may consider drinking coffee each morning harmless, in reality it could do more damage than good – especially if its not organic! To be considered mold free coffee brands the coffee must first undergo lab testing to be sure it is mycotoxin free and mold-free; other criteria must also apply: expert sourcing, roasting and storage procedures and third-party lab testing must all be fulfilled to qualify.

Conventionally grown coffee contains many of the same chemicals found in organic production; however, organic farming methods allow organic farmers to forego artificial fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides that would otherwise be present on coffee farms. Organic farmers must use only sustainable and natural methods of growing and processing their products. Furthermore, organically produced coffee benefits the people involved with harvesting and processing the beans with greater respect being shown towards them and being paid fair wages for their efforts.

Mold and mycotoxins can be caused by several other factors besides pesticides; moisture and warm temperatures being two primary contributors. Coffee crops are frequently shipped in non-airtight burlap sacks that become damp over time and moldy; additionally, many coffee beans come into contact with sand and dirt during harvesting which can transmit contaminants onto them directly.
