Espresso drinks to be labeled with a warning

Taiwan

Isn’t it frightening to know that you might become addicted to caffeine after consuming a large amount of coffee? Recently suspicion has been hovering around a famous chain of coffee shops for overdosing the caffeine in their drinks. Due to consumers’ worries, the Health Department has asked all coffee shops to label a warning on all their espresso drinks. Taiwan is now the first country in the world to ask for a warning label on caffeinated products.

How can you possibly say no to a cup of freshly brewed espresso? Some consumers can’t help but consume this tempting concoction so that’s why the Health Department is requesting the coffee industry to place warning labels.

This warning label is to be placed on all espresso drinks telling consumers that it might not be healthy to OD on such a beverage. The coffee industry now has no choice but to do what they are told.
