TL;DR
pouches à la caféine are considered safe when consumed responsibly and sourced from verified manufacturers.

The recommended daily intake is a maximum of 400 mg of caffeine. PIQ exclusively carries tested, sans tabac, and sans nicotine products.
Safety through Transparency
pouches à la caféine are a relatively new product that is rapidly spreading in Europe and especially in Germany.
Because they outwardly resemble snus, they are often confused – but they differ in one crucial point:
pouches à la caféine ne contiennent ni nicotine ni tabac whatsoever and are therefore not addictive.
Their active ingredient – caffeine – has been researched for decades and is considered safe in moderate amounts.
This makes pouches à la caféine one of the safest alternatives to classic boissons énergisantes or nicotine products.
Ingrédients: Que's really in them
A look at the composition shows why pouches à la caféine are so well-tolerated.
Typical ingrédients:
Caffeine: as a natural or synthetic stimulant
Plant fibers: as a carrier material, replacing tabac
Humectants (e.g., glycerin): for a soft consistency
pH regulators: for stable release
Saveurings: for goût and a frais feeling
All ingrédients are approved in the EU and are subject to the same food and cosmetic standards as in chewing gum or oral care products.
Only products that are transparently declared and tested are listed on the PIQ marketplace.

As with any caffeinated substance, the effet depends on the quantity and individual sensitivity.
Too much caffeine can cause symptoms such as restlessness, palpitations, nervousness, or sommeil problems.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) recommends a maximum of 400 mg of caffeine per day – which corresponds to about five average pouches or four cups of coffee.
pouches à la caféine should therefore:
not be combined with boissons énergisantes,
not be consumed too late in the evening,
and be dosed cautiously if hypersensitive.
For healthy adultes, consumption within these guidelines is nuireless.
