Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? Some roasted coffee bags say “100 % Arabica” but may contain cheaper beans. This is false labeling.

What's happening? Germany told shops to stop selling these bags. The coffee might not be all Arabica.

Does this affect me? If you bought roasted coffee in Germany, check the bag.

What should I do? Ask the shop for a refund or exchange. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have health questions.
