Bubble tea and boba

A bubble tea can contain tea caffeine, a large portion of sugar and dairy or toppings whose storage matters.

Direct guidance

What to know or do

Ask for the tea base, size and milk type, choose pasteurised dairy, and make sure cooked pearls and toppings have been handled and chilled or held safely.

What changes the answer

  • The exact ingredients and caffeine or alcohol shown on the label
  • Serving size and what else you have had across the whole day
  • Whether vomiting, diabetes, dehydration or another condition changes the plan

When to get individual help

Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
