The BBC has an article about it too.
Canada limits caffeine content in beverages to 180 mg per serving. Prime and Celsius have 200 mg, this seems to be a relatively common amount for new drinks that are popping up in states. Prime, at least, is also not released in Canada yet, so any version out there is the stronger version.
I was surprised when I discovered the Canadian limits, in the states many drinks are 240 mg and some even 300 (always marketed as super extreme hardcore).
Doesn't Starbucks 16 oz cold brew contain about 200 mg of caffeine? Don't we have venti cold brews here? Maybe it's grocery-specific regulation, idk.
This love for high dosage caffeine sounds like macho silliness to me. This "news" works probably more like an ad for these brands than anything else...
Could be. 200mg of caffeine would kill me. But for people who drink 10 cups of coffee per day, 200mg might give them the desired effect.
Yep. These brands know what they're doing.
