A shipment of Prince Caffe coffee, a product of the Devolli group originating in Kosovo, was stopped at the Croatian border and destroyed after laboratory tests revealed high levels of acrylamide, a substance directly linked to carcinogenic risk, forcing Croatian authorities to activate the European Union's alert mechanism and register the case in the official RASFF system as a serious risk to public health.
Analyses conducted on December 11, 2025 showed 746.3 micrograms of acrylamide per kilogram of coffee, almost double the maximum limit allowed by European legislation, which sets the threshold at 400 micrograms per kilogram, which for the EU does not simply constitute a technical violation, but a signal of failure of industrial control in the roasting and production process.
The authorities did not allow the product to enter the market, kept it under customs seal and ordered its destruction, treating it as a dangerous commodity for consumers, while the European Commission's notification remains public and accessible as an official document of a case involving one of the most popular coffee brands in the region.
Prince Caffe has been built for years as a symbol of quality, export and industrial success, but this episode highlights a stark contrast between the commercial image and the reality verified in EU laboratories, because acrylamide is not accidental contamination or a packaging error, but a direct product of the high-temperature baking process, a process that is fully controlled by the manufacturer.
This is where the question begins that extends beyond the Croatian border and reaches directly into Albania, as Prince Caffe Tirana is supplied by the same production source in Kosovo and distributes coffee to dozens of bars, restaurants and retail outlets, without any public transparency on production batches, laboratory analyses or self-control mechanisms for a substance that the EU considers to be of high risk.
Devolli Group has not clarified whether the shipment banned in Croatia belongs to an isolated batch or a wider production cycle, has not announced product recalls from markets where Prince Caffe is freely sold, and has not published the results of internal analyses for acrylamide, choosing silence at a time when transparency is an obligation, not a choice.
In this context, the concern is no longer related only to a border rejection, but to a potential problem extending to the market, because if the EU bans and destroys a product for health risks, doubts naturally arise about what happened to the same product that passed unhindered to Albania and ended up in consumers' cups.
Albanian food safety institutions have so far not reacted publicly, have not announced additional controls, and have not clarified whether they have verified the Prince Caffe batches circulating in Tirana, while the case registered in Brussels is an official and documented fact.
In the end, the contrast remains stark and unpleasant, because a product that in the EU is considered a serious risk to public health, in Albania continues to be sold normally, without warning and without accountability, turning the Prince Caffe issue from a technical problem into a concrete test of how consumer protection works or fails in the region. /Pamphlet
Mos! Sa lajm i keq! Jo për popullin, se ky popull është mësuar tashmë me perime e fruta me hormone e pesticide (si psh manderinat etj) dhe hesht. Por, dikush t'i thojë Arbana Osmanit që të heqë dorë nga publiciteti për Prince Caffe se do i prishet imazhi (nëse vërtet kjo kafe ka lëndë të dëmshme për shëndetin).
Po mirë ju qe shkruani dhe vlerësohet kjo, por përse nuk shkruajnë mediat në Kosovë. Apo janë të shitura. Apo tjetra, a ka prokurorë të cilët e duan dhe janë betuar për të ruajtur popullin nga kriminelet dhe monopolistët kanceroz. Si duket duhet të shkruani edhe për gazetarët dhe prokurorët e Kosovës që kan shitur shpirtin djallit. Familja Devolli po shkatërron kosovaret
Pamfleti, a mund te gjurmoni se kush e sjell miellin sërb në Shqipëri? A është ky miellin brenda normave shqiptare e europiane? Faleminderit!
Mielli eshte qe vjen ne Shqiperi me te gjithe treguesit sipas analizave.. Kjo do me thene qe produkti eshte i rregullt. Leji budallalliqet qe pllasin ne TV. Te gjithe hane tw paguar nga importuesit vendas. Te kujtohet sa ishte cmimi i miellit para se hynte nga kosova? Ta them une, jo me pak se 1000-1100 leke/kg .. Tani pyet veten perse propaganda ne tv kunder miellit qe hyn nga Kosova e Serbia.. Si puna e atyre qe denigrojne makaronat italiane dhe prodhojne ne Shqiperi cilesine me te qelbur
