The beverage sign has been on the road for 2 years! Direct batters shake drinks and coffee shops "find fault".

The weather is hot, many people often buy a cup of iced coffee or a hand drink to relieve the heat, but have you paid attention to these signs? According to the regulations of the Food and Drug Administration, chain beverage stores must not only indicate the origin of tea or coffee raw materials, but also mark the sugar content and distinguish the caffeine content with "red, yellow, and green" colors. However, the system has been on the road for two years. This year, there are still 13 operators that do not comply with the regulations.

In the hot weather, I came to a small chain coffee shop to buy iced coffee. Unexpectedly, the clerk explained that I hardly understood it. However, since July 2015, the Food and Drug Administration has clearly stipulated that it includes chain beverage stores, fast food restaurants, and convenience stores. The currently mixed drinks sold, such as coffee, must not only clearly indicate the origin of coffee raw materials, but also distinguish caffeine content in red, yellow and green. It is just that over the past two years, there have been countless people who have not complied with the rules. If they hit four companies directly, two of them are not in compliance with the regulations.

For example, in this beverage chain, the answer to the established sugar content is also very vague, and the Food and Drug Administration also stipulates that in addition to the origin of tea, the sugar content should also be clearly marked, and it can be marked in two ways by adding a few grams of sugar or how many cubes of sugar can be added.

Xu Chaokai, deputy head of the Food Section of the Food and Drug Administration: "if the label does not comply with the regulations, we will directly punish it and impose a fine of NT $30,000 to NT $3 million. The next time it is found that it has not been corrected, we can still impose a fine of NT $30,000 to NT $3 million in accordance with the provisions of the Food Safety Law."

In addition, for example, vegetable juice is regulated by the FDA. Only when the content of raw juice is more than 10% can it be named "vegetable juice". If the content of raw juice is less than 10%, or there is not a single drop of raw juice, it cannot be named vegetable juice. Since the beginning of this year, the Food and Drug Administration has inspected 181 companies and found that 13 of them are unqualified.

Xu Chaokai, deputy head of the Food Section of the Food and Drug Administration: "at present, the disclosure of signs can be displayed by inserting cards, setting up signs, or displaying them on the menu. it depends on the fact that the industry should let consumers know in obvious places."

There are more choices in form, but as for fonts, the FDA regulates that they should not be less than 0.2 centimeters, but they have been on the road for two years and there are still operators who do not comply. I am afraid that the competent authorities will have to step up their attention so as not to allow the labelling system to become a reference.
