Not long ago, the Swiss Nestl é factory reported to the police that unclear color powder was found in coffee bean containers shipped from Brazil. According to local police investigation and inspection, the white powder was 80% pure cocaine. The entire search operation was carried out in the quarantined area set up by the factory. Nestl é also said in an email statement: "the coffee beans related to this incident will not come into contact with any products in the factory or any production equipment." And assure consumers that the products produced by the Nestle factory in Switzerland are safe to eat. "

Although there was an official statement, it still caused concern among domestic consumers. On May 9, the Asian Coffee Association and the Yunnan Coffee Industry Association issued a joint statement as follows:

The Asian Coffee Association believes that coffee industry organizations, coffee enterprises and coffee practitioners in Asian countries must seriously ensure safety in the circulation, production and processing of coffee raw materials. Cocaine is recognized as a drug control in the world. Companies in the global coffee industry, including Nestl é, should ensure the quality and safety of coffee products and have more responsibility than Mount Tai. The Yunnan Coffee Industry Association believes that more than 95% of China's coffee is grown in Yunnan. As a raw material guarantee base for domestic coffee, Yunnan must strengthen industry self-discipline and conscientiously do a good job in safety inspection in all aspects of the coffee industry chain, so that consumers can rest assured to drink. The Asian Coffee Association and the Yunnan Coffee Industry Association jointly called for China's food safety supervision department to conduct a special test on the end products of China's coffee market: "whether coffee products contain cocaine." to ensure that consumers can drink a safe and healthy cup of coffee.
