Liverpool – According to local media, a lorry-load of potentially toxic counterfeit coffee was seized by trading standards officers on Wednesday in Liverpool.
The haul, worth more than £34,000, was bound for Merseyside canteens, shops and restaurants.
A police and city council team swooped as it headed for a warehouse in
Kensington yesterday.
After the seizure the supplier was arrested and the large, catering-size Nestlé containers examined. They turned out to be fake.
The 750 gram tins were labelled “Nescafe Original Granules”.
Inquiries are ongoing to determine where the coffee came from.
The contents will be analysed to find out exactly what is in the coffee.
