Boba gays

Receipt/thermal printer paper, and brown sugar (used to make our housemade syrups), both of which were purchased off-the-shelf from third parties, had slightly elevated levels of BPA.  We believe these to be the likely sources of BPA found in the boba analyzed by PlasticList.org in its initial study.

Plasticlist.org also conducted a second round of testing of our boba, and ultimately concurred with our findings.

Since conducting our own study, we have changed our thermal printer paper to a BPA-free version and our brown sugar to one contained in BPA-free packaging.  We are confident this resolves any BPA-related issues.  The safety and well-being of our customers are our highest priority.  Thank you for your patience and support the past couple months as we unpacked the PlasticList.org study.

We also tested containers, both metal and Cambro (BPA-free) brewing containers.

A quick summary of our discovery:

1. After testing 50+ additional samples, we were unable to reproduce the outlier 30 ng/g BPA result referenced in the PlasticList.org study that the media and public have focused on.

   This single result – which was sensationalized by the media and viral pundits – is an extreme outlier and not representative of typical findings in either our tests or PlasticList’s tests of our beverages.

2. Committed to finding the entry point for BPA, we focused our investigation on the ingredients and packaging used before they reached our supply chain.

3. Reports from the independent labs we engaged showed “No Detection” for our ingredients and packaging with two exceptions.
