Coffee and Vending Machines
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what estimate his Department made of the number of non-compliant (a) vending and (b) professional coffee machines entering the United Kingdom.

Products placed on the UK market must comply with all relevant regulatory requirements, including UKCA marking where applicable. Product safety compliance and enforcement activity is undertaken by market surveillance and enforcement authorities on a proportionate, risk-based and intelligence-led basis.
The Department has not undertaken a vending machine-specific assessment of the adequacy or frequency of such checks, nor made an estimate of the number of non-compliant (a) vending and (b) professional coffee machines entering the United Kingdom.
