We have had them both lab tested (an 11 page report) which they both passed. Our is a totally organic product through Biolatina a body recognised by the EU.

Actually food safety ...Hi, sorry you feel this way. Actually food safety is part of my job for a big coffee sourcer and importer. So part of my job is sensory evaluation and an other part is these types of regulations. I agree with you that the whole discussion exploded after James'Hoffmann's video. And this blog is a reaction to that, in a sense that I wanted to take some time to explain what the regulation actually means. <br />The regulation does not mean that cascara (or coffee blossom) is illegal, only that it is not legal for human consumption (yet), because the EU does not know what potential health risks are yet. <br />Which means that if a national authority checks your shop, the product might be confiscated and they will tell you to not sell it anymore.

This is simply how you(bunch)interpret the E.U regulations.Till last week,video apparition of your Messias, nobody even question Cascara legality.<br />Tell me any places in Austria or Germany that have been supposedly "ravaged" by authorities searching for Cascara ?<br />And regarding coffee blossom:the only illegal activity is the way how you hipster/baristas are attempting to infuse it using your fancy / expensive / useless Hario glasses. <br />Stick to coffee and keep searching for his terroir, finding some haselnut or berries ? or is it cardamom spicy ? Cmon go on and cupp it again, dont forget to whistle during it<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7161180518256683197.post-69960055532541472972017-04-03T19:45:31.853+02:002017-04-03T19:45:31.853+02:00Ooo yeah!

Probably due to the fact that it is difficult to be on top of everything being sold in the EU and cascara not being quite big enough to make a splash (until now).<br />As for similar use in other countries, yes! This could be enough under new legislation in 2018. But for the rest of 2017 we would have to have a full report or prove common use within the EU. <br />All cascara products would be unauthorised for use, including flour, soda, syrups...<br /><br />We can play dumb, but they might confiscate at that time. So might be money thrown away to buy it. :( Good thing for you and me, we can request samples anytime I guess :)Cerianne Buryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09807256432032051097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7161180518256683197.post-48095918027033873152017-04-03T14:53:07.448+02:002017-04-03T14:53:07.448+02:00Some random thoughts:

This should give a good example/ proof that this food has been used in this way for a long time, without health risks.<br />Coffee Flour, and all (many!) others making products out of cascara are in trouble too? (Already arranged that a colleague brings over some flour from London while being at LCF this week)<br />Could we just play dumb and act very surprised if authorities would warn and/or fine... "Oh, we thought it was all about cascara sagrada!" (The plant based laxative) ;)<br /><br />Normanmazelcofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07005915449067655776noreply@blogger.com
