17:57 - 4.06.2021


June 4, Fineko/abc.az. The Azerbaijan Food Safety Agency (AQTA) has recently attracted samples of various brands of energy drinks in various regions for monitoring.

It was noted that because of the caffeine content below 15 in a number of energy drinks, it is no longer an energy drink, but a regular soft drink.

"But in a number of cases, including in matters related to labeling, we have also encountered fraud. Sometimes caffeine is advertised on the product packaging, other ingredients are not advertised purposefully, because if other ingredients are also advertised, the product will already be considered an energy drink," AQTA’s statement says.
