NEW YORK, March 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Banning the most common decaffeinated coffee - known as European Method decaf - would unjustifiably deny decaffeinated coffee drinkers access to a safe product associated with decreased risk of multiple cancers and other health benefits, the National Coffee Association (NCA) warned today (Friday).
- NEW YORK, March 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Banning the most common decaffeinated coffee - known as European Method decaf - would unjustifiably deny decaffeinated coffee drinkers access to a safe product associated with decreased risk of multiple cancers and other health benefits, the National Coffee Association (NCA) warned today (Friday).
- NCA will detail the robust body of scientific evidence establishing the safety of European Method decaf in response to a petition filed by activist group the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
- In parallel to EDF's unfounded petition, activist group the Clean Label Project (CLP) is also lobbying the California State Assembly to ban European Method decaf (California Assembly Bill 2066 ).
