Follow the caf é (Wechat official account vdailycom) and found that Beautiful Cafe opened a small shop of its own.

The Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission issued a circular on the "comparative experiment of milk tea". In this comparative experiment, 51 milk tea samples were purchased from 27 milk tea shops, including Xi tea, imperial tea, tribute tea, a little bit and other "Internet celebrities" milk tea. to detect sugar, fat, trans fatty acids, caffeine and so on. The results show that all kinds of milk tea on the market generally contain caffeine, and the highest content of one cup of milk tea is equivalent to four cups of coffee, which is not suitable for pregnant women and children, but only one has a hint. All the so-called "sugar-free" milk tea was found to contain sugar after testing. The use of milk is not "real material".

The milk tea industry has been developed for many years, and there are large consumer groups, including milk tea shops, dessert shops, western food restaurants and many other businesses. In recent years, the rapid rise of "Internet celebrities" milk tea, the market is very hot, there are often queues to buy. "Internet celebrities" milk tea is more expensive than ordinary milk tea, and it is mostly packaged into a healthy drink with slogans such as "scientific formula, authentic materials and raw milk production". It tastes good and is popular among young people.

However, judging from the testing situation of the Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission, the "Internet celebrity" milk tea does not live up to its name. Not only the caffeine content is too high, but the so-called "sugar-free" milk tea also contains sugar, and the content is not low. There is also fraud in the use of milk, not using raw milk or fresh milk, but instead of using cream and the like. Obviously, the "Internet celebrity" milk tea is not as healthy and assured as it advertises. On the contrary, there are many problems, which are not much different from ordinary milk tea, and the price is still a little higher, so it has to be suspicious. If such speculation is suspected of commercial fraud, the regulatory authorities should punish it in accordance with the law and order it to correct it.

Caffeine generally exists in coffee, strong tea and other drinks, the single intake of healthy adults had better not exceed 200mg, pregnant women and children and other people should not eat too much, otherwise it will cause similar anxiety symptoms, such as palpitations, tremors, sleep disorders and so on. However, of the 27 milk tea shops, only one had a vague hint that "pregnant women should not drink too much", and all the other milk teas did not give any hint that milk tea contained caffeine. It can be seen that this is a deliberate concealment of the caffeine content in milk tea without a clear hint and warning, which is tantamount to putting consumers in danger.

As for the "Internet celebrities" milk tea sugar content, milk authenticity and other issues, but also similar to caffeine, are deliberately concealed by businesses. Consumers do not know the real situation and are easily misled by the propaganda of businessmen, thinking that "Internet celebrities" milk tea is a healthy drink. As a result, drinking too much milk tea affects their health. Therefore, the formula of "Internet celebrities" milk tea should be clearly marked with the content and proportion of various ingredients, and marked with warnings to remind people who are not suitable to drink milk tea, so as to avoid harm to consumers' health.

Prior to this, "Internet celebrities" milk tea has been exposed to hire people to queue up and create the illusion of popular style, which has caused collective doubts among netizens. Now "Internet celebrities" milk tea has been detected a variety of problems, it can not help but suspect that "Internet celebrities" milk tea is just a "vest", there is no substantial change. So, what is the significance of consumers paying high prices for "Internet celebrities" milk tea? Therefore, consumers should rationally treat the phenomenon of "Internet celebrities" milk tea, do not blindly believe in business slogans, in order to pursue false popular styles and affect health, it is too uneconomical.
