Bubble tea syrup is unsafe – Chatime vs Gong Cha Bubble Tea

I like bubble tea and recently there’s this bubble tea craze where there’s these two new bubble franchise blooming in Malaysia. Chatime vs Cong Cha!

I was wondering is this safe for us to drink as recently there’s a lot of news saying that a lot of products are not safe to be consumed as there contain some substance that will bring harm to ppl. So the question is, “Is Chatime & Gong Cha Safe to drink in Malaysia?”

Bubble tea syrup is unsafe

PETALING JAYA: A Taiwanese product commonly used in bubble tea drinks sold in the Klang Valley has been confirmed by the Health Ministry to be contaminated with the carcinogen diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP).

In a statement, Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the product had been identified as the “Strawberry Syrup” manufactured by T & M Resources Corporation and imported by Elegant Solution Trading.

Two other products suspected to be contaminated by DEHP were Chuang’s Square Cookies the brown sugar, all-wheat, almond and sesame variants; and Natural Beauty Drink Powder and Natural Beauty Fruit and Vegetable Powder.

“The ministry has instructed the companies concerned to recall their products immediately while samples have been taken for analysis. All retailers have also been advised to halt sales of the food products with imme-diate effect.

“Customers who have bought the items are advised not to consume them,” Liow said.

The manufacturers for the products were Chuang’s King Tai Chang Food Co Ltd and Prince Pharmaceutical Co Ltd, while the importers are Syarikat Nguan Seng (1990) Sdn Bhd and Billion Synergy Sdn Bhd.

Liow also said that another 15 food products from Taiwan had been tested and found to be free of contamination, including New Choice Pudding, Lychee Syrup, Honey Peach Syrup and Black Tea imported by Elegant Solution Trading.

Other products free from contamination include Power Bifidus Yogurt Drink, Kinohimitsu Japan D’tox Juice and eight Cosway Oriyen products.

Other food products found not contaminated include Singlong Ho Egg Noodle, Sun Chi Song Hua Ban Noodles, White Jade Noodle and MIC’s Taiwan Lemon Wafer.

I have checked with both outlet facebook and they declared that they are safe and passed the DEHP test. They are free from DEHP so those bubble tea lovers can continue to enjoy Chatime or Gong Cha! =)

I love to drink coffee and can't live without it!

I need coffee everyday! If without coffee I will just sleep thru the whole day and cannot even open my eyes! Haha… yes, I’m serious! How about you?

All I need is this SUPER COFFEEMIX 3 in 1, it’s easy to make, no need to add anything and it’s ready to drink by just adding hot water.

I choose Super because it’s value for money as compare to many brands. It’s only RM8.50 and you could get it easily at any supermarket or hypermarket and convenient store. Pure full bodies coffee beans blended with an ideal mix of top grade creamer and sugar, the result is simply irresistible.

On the other hand, there’s this COFFEEMIX (reduced sugar) with a new formula containing 25% lesser in sugar content as compared to Super Regular 3in1 Coffee. A healthier choice for me and yet can enjoy the same premium taste and Robust Aroma. Less sugar means less fats and I can be fit? Should I change to this reduced sugar 3 in 1? =)

Interesting facts about Robusta Coffee Beans
1. Robusta coffee is the trade name for Coffea canephora
2. Indonesia, West Africa, Brazil and Vietnam are the most dominant growing areas
3. It is more resistant to pests and disease, are hardier and produce more beans
4. Robusta coffee beans makes up about a third of the world coffee market
5. It takes approximately four years for a coffee bush to produce a useful crop
