Rumor Nescafé coffee is getting banned debunked as US customers panic

Nescafé coffee is not getting banned

However, Nescafé coffee is not being banned in the US. The false rumors stem from confusion surrounding a lawsuit filed by Nestlé USA.

As explained by KSBW8, the food giant is suing two of its distribution companies in Mexico, Ultra Mundiales and Ultra International.

If successful, many popular Nestlé products that are imported from Mexico could be taken off the shelves of US stores.

This includes the Mexican version of Nescafé coffee. However, all products distributed from the US will not be affected at all.

Nestlé sues Mexican distributors

The lawsuit was filed in 2021 in Texas and claims that both distribution companies are not authorized to sell Nestlé-trademarked products in the US.

Neither “is an owner or licensee of Nestlé trademarks in the United States,” the lawsuit states, so the products are intended for sale in Mexico only.

Nestlé says goods only supposed to be sold in Mexico are being imported into the US “without the consent of the American trademark holder”.

They claim this has created confusion for customers as some labels are only in Spanish or contain the wrong nutritional information.

Speaking of coffee, the Pumpkin Spice Latte is back at Starbucks along with a number of other yummy fall drinks that you need to try.

Internet users went into panic

A number of Nescafé lovers took to Twitter in panic after wrongly hearing that the instant coffee could be banned.

One person wrote: “If Nescafé gets banned I’m going to cryyy, that’s the only coffee brand I drink.”

“NESCAFÉ IS GETTING BANNED IN THE US??????!!!!! Nnnnoooooooooooooo!!!” said another.

A third person added: “Nescafé coffee getting banned ??? That’s a hate crime.”

Don’t worry, the hot drink isn’t going anywhere!
