California Coffee Retailers Now Required to Serve Their Coffee with Cancer Warnings
If you plan on visiting a California Starbucks shop or other coffee roaster or retailer in the near future, you’ll likely notice something new with your order. According to a recent court ruling from a Los Angeles judge, coffee roasters and retailers “must serve up a cancer warning with coffee sold in California.” The judge, Superior Court Judge Elihu Berle, published the ruling earlier this week after determining that “other coffee sellers did not show that the risk from consuming acrylamide, a possible cancer-causing byproduct created during coffee roasting, was offset by benefits from drinking coffee.”
