Recently, the popular tea brand ‘Heytea’ (marketed as ‘Ba Wang Cha Ji’ in China) has drawn public attention due to concerns over high caffeine content in some of its beverages—reportedly exceeding that of certain coffees—raising health worries among consumers. In response, the Shanghai Anti-Drug Committee Office clarified that the issue is unrelated to narcotics and emphasized that while caffeine is a strictly regulated psychotropic substance under national law, its use in food and beverages within legal limits is entirely permissible.The office noted that although caffeine appears on China’s official list of controlled psychotropic substances, its presence in drinks is lawful as long as it complies with national food safety standards. Authorities have urged the company to clearly label caffeine levels on its products to ensure consumer awareness. They also advised the public—especially sensitive groups such as pregnant women, adolescents, and individuals with caffeine sensitivity—to consume such beverages in moderation or avoid them altogether.This statement aims to dispel public misconceptions and prevent confusion between legal food additives and illicit drugs. Experts recommend that the beverage industry enhance self-regulation and product transparency to promote healthier consumption habits. Heytea has since published caffeine test results for select drinks on its official channels and pledged to refine its recipes to better meet diverse consumer needs.
近日，网红茶饮品牌‘霸王茶姬’因产品中咖啡因含量引发公众关注。有消费者反映其部分饮品咖啡因含量较高，甚至超过部分咖啡，担心存在健康隐患。对此，上海市禁毒委员会办公室（简称‘上海禁毒办’）作出回应，澄清该事件与毒品无关，并强调咖啡因属于国家严格管理的精神药品，但合法合规使用于食品饮料中并不违法。上海禁毒办指出，咖啡因在《精神药品品种目录》中确有列管，但日常饮品中所含的咖啡因若符合国家食品安全标准，则属于合法添加。监管部门已要求相关企业明确标注饮品中的咖啡因含量，保障消费者知情权。同时提醒公众理性看待咖啡因摄入，特殊人群如孕妇、青少年及对咖啡因敏感者应适量饮用或避免。此次回应旨在消除公众误解，避免将合法食品添加剂与毒品混淆。专家也建议，茶饮行业应加强自律，提升产品透明度，推动健康消费理念。目前，霸王茶姬已在其官方渠道公布部分产品的咖啡因检测数据，并承诺优化配方以满足不同消费者需求。
