The December 2012 issue of Consumer Reports reported that many energy drinks inaccurately label their caffeine content, or do not label their caffeine content altogether. Steaz wants this to change.
“There is a broad range of caffeine levels and sources in everything caffeinated, from chocolate to coffee, to energy beverages,” said Steaz executive chairman Jay Garnett. “We promote natural sources of caffeine and nutrition and ask consumers to educate themselves about what they’re drinking. Steaz encourages all beverage manufactures to make it easy for them to do so with open and accurate product labelling.”
HealthCanada states that up to 400mg of caffeine daily for healthy adults has positive effects on the individual, such as increased alertness or ability to concentrate.
At 100mg of naturally occurring caffeine per 12oz can, Steaz Energy is on the low end of the spectrum, especially when compared to 240mg of caffeine in a 12oz coffee from a leading coffee chain, or 128mg in the same size unnatural energy drink with added caffeine.
