Hanoi Health Department inspectors will begin examining the quality of bubble tea in the capital city next week, Chief Inspector Nguyen Viet Cuong said Saturday.

The department had conducted a quality inspection of the bubble tea early this year, Cuong said, adding the results showed cooking coloring and sweeteners used at allowed levels.

In the upcoming inspection, the group will take samples of bubble tea to test whether or not it contains substances harmful for users’ health, Cuong said.

Cuong added the group will take samples of bubble tea at markets as well as shops serving the tea, as was done previously.
