Every generation has some product/ingredient that they didn’t know was dangerous at the time: tobacco, lead, asbestos, etc. What is that item for this generation? (lemmy.world)

Too bad they don’t list caffeine on the nutrition facts. Who knows how much you get.

[–] EssentialCoffee@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

Caffeine content has been listed for years on drinks, just not in the nutrition box.

For what, soda? Looking at a Mountain Dew right now and it says 54mg caffeine. It’s next to the nutrition facts but not in the box itself

Cool, I’ll look for it. I haven’t bought soda in many years. More interested in coffee. I still don’t know if “breakfast coffee” has more or less than “half caff”.

[–] Krompus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Breakfast blend is unspecific, but it's a mix of normal, not decaf coffee, aimed at being smooth, not too bold or acidic etc. Half caff is a blend of decaf and normal beans, so breakfast will have approximately twice as much caffeine. Light/dark roast and specific coffee bean type used will vary the caffeine levels.

I should have specified I specifically mean Folgers. I can see that the way you make it will affect the caffeine level. But they should still specify a amount for if it is made in a “standardized” way. That at least lets you compare things by their labels, while standing there in the store. Folgers only says their half calf is “darker” than breakfast, which I assume just means the flavor.
