Here’s Why EU Has Banned Caffeine

Here’s Why EU Has Banned Caffeine
SHARE

The European Union (EU) has raised eyebrows with a surprising declaration regarding coffee, categorizing it as “harmful to humans if swallowed” under new chemical safety regulations, as reported by The Telegraph. The EU, comprised of 27 nations, has also prohibited the use of caffeine as a pesticide, citing potential adverse effects on the heart, hydration, and body temperature.

According to the report, the European Food Safety Authority has highlighted the negative impacts of caffeine on various bodily systems, including the cardiovascular system, hydration, body temperature, and the central nervous system in both adults and children. Additionally, it mentioned potential adverse effects on pregnant women and birth weight outcomes.

The European Commission’s decision was prompted by a request from a French company, Progarein, seeking approval to use caffeine as a pesticide on crops. This move has sparked concerns that coffee, a popular beverage in Europe, could potentially come under scrutiny in the future.

Responding to the announcement, Danish MEP Anders Vistisen criticized the EU for unnecessary interference, questioning the potential consequences of such regulations.

“This is yet another case of unnecessary meddling by bureaucrats in Brussels! What’s next? Will they mandate decaffeinated coffee consumption? It’s getting absurd,” remarked Mr. Vistisen.

He further highlighted previous instances where the EU attempted to ban certain foods, such as cinnamon rolls due to their coumarin content, illustrating the need for decision-making to be left to individual countries and personal choices.

Despite the warning, it is unlikely to deter coffee enthusiasts. However, the clash between coffee’s cultural significance and bureaucratic regulations is set to create an interesting scenario as the new rules come into effect.
