Brazil Halts All Vibe Coffee Sales After Sanitary Failures Found

Overview

• Anvisa imposed an immediate, nationwide prohibition on the manufacture, distribution, sale, advertising and use of all Vibe Coffee products on November 3.
• The action followed an Espírito Santo inspection by NEVS that found the company lacked a sanitary license and showed serious failures in good manufacturing practices.
• Inspectors reported missing product regularization, no traceability, no standard operating procedures and inadequate hygiene conditions at the facility.
• Vibe Coffee says it was not formally notified, contends it requested the inspection for guidance, and reports ongoing fixes including renovations and new operating procedures, which it aims to complete by November 7.
• This is the second prohibition in under a week involving coffee brands sold online, underscoring tighter oversight of e‑commerce food products.
