In late June, the China Shenzhen Municipal Market Supervision and Administration Bureau randomly inspected Internet celebrity beverages such as “Thai Tea Drinks” and found that 15 of the 20 batches of samples had added food additives sunset yellow over the range.
At present, 15 tea drinking units that failed the test have been filed for investigation.
According to relevant regulations, sunset yellow, amaranth and carmine cannot be used in tea beverages. Long-term or one-time consumption of large amounts of food with excessive pigment content may cause symptoms such as allergies, diarrhea, and damage the kidneys and liver.
