This study investigates the accuracy of labels on energy drinks, focusing on the nutritional content and ingredient claims made by manufacturers. With the growing popularity of energy drinks, concerns regarding misleading or inaccurate labeling have emerged, potentially leading to health risks for consumers. Through a comprehensive analysis using Ultra Violet Spectroscopy, a range of energy drink products available in the market were analyzed, We compared the information provided on product labels (e.g., caffeine content) with laboratory analyses. Our findings indicate significant discrepancies in several products, with some labels overstating or understating key components. The study highlights the importance of regulatory oversight to ensure transparency and protect consumer health. Additionally, it discusses the implications of these inaccuracies for public health and proposes recommendations for more stringent labeling standards in the energy drink industry.
