New bill sets rules for coffee shops
The article revolves around a new bill aimed at regulating the coffee market in Egypt, with the goal of combating fraud and manipulation in the quality of coffee offered to consumers. The law proposes mandatory clear data labels from coffee producers and importers, including the proportions of Arabica and Robusta, the country of origin, roasting date, and batch number. It also prohibits the trading of unknown-source ground coffee. Additionally, it emphasizes organizing the presentation of coffee beverages in cafes and restaurants by requiring the disclosure of the type of coffee and its ingredient ratios, and prohibiting the serving of drinks like espresso or cappuccino unless they meet specified standards, with samples kept for reference in case of complaints. The bill also suggests implementing an electronic tracking system via a QR code, allowing consumers and authorities to access product data and testing results. Increased inspection campaigns and strict penalties for violating companies are also proposed, aiming to combat fraudulent practices, enhance market transparency, and support domestically produced coffee that complies with standards.
