I heard that there may be some health concerns with decaffeinated coffee. Is that true?
All of our coffee products, including our decaffeinated products go through a stringent quality assurance and safety protocol, follow all strict FDA and other federal and health
guidelines, and are safe to drink. Regarding decaffeinated coffees specifically:
We use two different processes to extract caffeine from our coffees to make them decaffeinated depending on the coffee.
Organic Decaffeinated Coffees
- Our organic coffees use a natural carbon dioxide process where pressurized carbon dioxide acts as a solvent and is circulated through a bed of beans to extract or pull out the caffeine.
- Only natural carbon dioxide and water are used in the decaffeination process.
Conventional Decaffeinated Coffees
- Our conventional coffees use the methylenechloride (MC) process where the methylene chloride liquid solvent is circulated through a bed of beans to extract or pull out the caffeine. Once the caffeine has been extracted, the decaffeinated beans are washed to remove any residual solvent.
- Food and Drug Administration regulations allow up to 10 parts per million of residual methylene solvent, but the coffee decaffeination results in trace amounts much lower - approximately one part per million (or 1/10th of the FDA limit).
- The FDA says the likelihood of any health risk from methylene chloride was so low “as to be essentially non-existent”.
We stand behind all our decaf products. For more information and references, the National Coffee Association has a wealth of resources and guides available about this topic here: https://www.ncausa.org/decaf
