NAME OF THE FOOD
cascara (coffee cherry pulp)

IN THE SAME FIELD OF VISION AS THE NAME
High caffeine content. Not recommended for children or pregnant or
breast-feeding women (___ mg per 100 ml  <-- FILL THIS IN FROM THE ACCREDITED CERTIFICATE)

DESCRIPTION
Dried unroasted coffee cherry pulp of Coffea arabica L. Origin: Ethiopia,
East Hararghe. Authorised in the European Union as a traditional food from
a third country by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/47.

PREPARATION (required for pulp sold as such)
Use up to 6 g per 100 ml of water above 75 °C. Leave a few minutes, then
pour through a strainer.

STORAGE
Store dry, below 20 °C, out of direct light.

LOT: RIM-25/26-EH-04. Packed by Rimbaud, Harar, Ethiopia.

One blank: the caffeine content. Regulation (EU) 2022/47 requires the figure in mg per 100 ml beside the warning, and we will not print a number we have not had measured. This lot's accredited panel is at the laboratory — the figure lands on this page and in the dossier the day it does. Everything else in the block is final and can go to your printer now.

The trade name and the warning sentence are fixed by Regulation (EU) 2022/47. Read what your food-safety officer has to keep on file in the compliance guide.
