A new analysis of popular coffee brands has found minimal levels of contaminants in caffeinated coffee products, according to research conducted by the Clean Label Project, a non-profit organization.

The study examined approximately 45 widely available coffee brands sourced from multiple countries. A certified laboratory performed thousands of tests to detect the presence of pesticides, heavy metals, mycotoxins, and plasticizers commonly found in consumer products.

While the investigation did identify some contaminants in the tested coffee samples, the levels detected were minimal. The Clean Label Project concluded that caffeinated coffee ranks among the cleanest product categories the organization has ever analyzed, with products generally free of significant contamination and toxins.

The research addresses recent consumer concerns about potential contaminants in coffee products. The findings suggest that popular coffee brands maintain relatively clean profiles despite growing conditions and processing methods that could potentially introduce harmful substances.
