What the official pages say
Count your cups in the caffeine counter above.
Caffeine today
| Drinks | Caffeine |
|---|
KKH: “LIMIT to less than 200mg of caffeine per day.” HPB: “Limit your intake of caffeinated beverages to no more than two cups per day.”
How we count kopi and teh
HPB’s figure for a cup of brewed coffee (250 ml). No official page gives a figure for coffeeshop kopi. HPB says kopi is mostly made with Robusta beans, which have more caffeine than Arabica (2.7% against 1.5%). Count the top of the range if you take kopi gao.
KKH: one cup of tea. HPB gives 14 to 70 mg for a standard cup of black tea.
Next: read the short guide, print the fridge sheet or see your check-up dates.
What this result assumes
Each food quotes HealthHub, KKH or SFA word for word. We read every page on 17 October 2026. Our one-line summary never goes further than the quote. Where none of these pages covers a food, it says “No official guidance”. The caffeine counter uses KKH’s limit of less than 200 mg a day and each drink’s official range. No official page gives a figure for coffeeshop kopi, so we use HPB’s figure for a cup of brewed coffee. This is general guidance, not medical advice. Ask your doctor about your own diet.

Is it safe to drink kopi when pregnant?
KKH says to limit caffeine to less than 200 mg a day, and HPB says no more than two cups of caffeinated drinks a day. The counter adds up your kopi and teh against that limit.
Can I eat half-boiled eggs when pregnant?
SFA says pregnant women should only eat eggs cooked until both the yolk and the white are solid. HPB lists half-boiled eggs among the foods to avoid.
Will papaya or pineapple cause a miscarriage?
HPB says there is no documented case of miscarriage from eating papaya, pineapple or “cooling” foods such as grass jelly and green bananas.
What if a food says “No official guidance”?
None of the HealthHub, KKH or SFA pages we read covers it. We say so rather than guess. Ask your doctor or antenatal clinic.
