Coffee is a food product that has an easily manipulated matrix during processing, so it needs rigorous control over its quality and identity standards, always assisted by regulatory bodies. The control is instituted through routine analyses applied to determine the quality standard of the coffee. Recommended by the ordinance of Secretaria de Defesa Agropecuária (SDA) n° 570, of May 9, 2022, in conjunction with the Resolução da Diretoria Colegiada (RDC) n° 623, march 9, 2022, they aim to carry out a research work on contaminations before, during and after processing of coffee, being these contaminations inevitable, fraudulent or by failures in the process chain. Both legislations stipulate maximum values allowed for the incidence of insect fragments, whole insects, rodent hair fragments, mites, percentage of silica or similar, beyond adulterations in the batch composition, like the presence of other plants matrix different from coffee and debris from coffee culture, like peels and coffee sticks, don’t allow any moral or physical harm to the consumer, also enabling the classification or declassification of coffee in the market.
