星巴克咖啡致癌风波

Starbucks causes cancer？

▲星巴克董事长、CEO霍华德·舒尔茨

Starbucks China has responded to public concerns that a chemical in its coffee may cause cancer, saying that "providing quality and safe foods and beverages to consumers" is the company's highest priority.

近日，关于星巴克咖啡中含致癌化学物质的问题引发公众关注，星巴克中国对此进行回应称，星巴克始终坚持把“为顾客提供高品质及安全可靠的食品与饮料”放在首位。

The statement made on Saturday comes in response to a ruling earlier this week by a judge in California that might see Starbucks and other coffee sellers in the state required to print warnings on their products that they contain acrylamide.

星巴克于3月31日作出的这份声明旨在回应几天前加利福利亚州一位法官作出的判决，判决要求包括星巴克在内的加州咖啡销售商，必须在咖啡产品上贴上“含丙烯酰胺”的警告标签。

The suit was filed against Starbucks along with 90 other companies in 2010, claiming that they were violating state law by not warning consumers about the acrylamide in their product. Acrylamide is a potential carcinogen that is created when coffee beans are roasted.

这起诉讼于2010年提起，控告星巴克及其他90家咖啡销售商违反加州法律，在咖啡产品上没有警告顾客其中含有丙烯酰胺。丙烯酰胺是一种潜在的致癌物质，在烘焙咖啡豆时产生。

According to the U.S. Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, warning labels should be used to inform consumers when a product contains one or more of around 900 chemicals believed to cause cancer or birth defects. Private citizens, advocacy groups, and attorneys are allowed to sue on behalf of the state and collect a portion of the civil penalties for failures to provide the warnings.

根据美国《饮用水安全与毒性物质强制执行法》，当产品含有约900种已知会导致癌症或出生缺陷的化学物质中的一种或多种时，应使用警告标签告知消费者。对于不提供警告标签的行为，普通公民、游说团体和律师均可代表加州上诉，收取部分民事罚款。

There are still a couple of weeks for the defendants to appeal the ruling.

被告仍有几周时间对判决提出上诉。

However, the World Health Organization (WHO) removed coffee from its list of "possible carcinogens" in 2016.

但世界卫生组织在2016年将咖啡从其“可能致癌物”名单中删除。

Some coffee drinkers say they'll give coffee drinking a second thought after the ruling, while others say that nothing can stop them from treating themselves to a few cups of coffee a week.

一些咖啡爱好说，他们会在判决后重新考虑要不要喝咖啡，而另一些人则说，什么都不能阻挡他们每周喝几杯咖啡。
