Highly-caffeinated beverages including coffee will be banned from all K-12 schools starting this September. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety will implement an amendment to its laws on children's food safety management. Though beverages clearly marked as caffeinated cannot be sold on school premises, ordinary coffee beverages that are considered adult beverages are sold at coffee vending machines and kiosks within the school for teachers. But even those will disappear with the new rule. Authorities are concerned of the impact to children's health if they consume too much caffeine. Symptoms can include dizziness, chest throbs, sleeping disorders, and nervousness.
