Mainly in the case of the mostconsumed beverages in the world, namely, coffee, cocoa, and tea, the investigation of their CRMs pro-duction provides an overview of the researched analytes and points out which areas need to be studied,which also contributes to improving their safety and quality. This review discusses aspects related toreference material (RM) preparation processes, as well as the results of homogeneity and stability testsand their application to coffee, cocoa, and tea, together with an overview of the patents developed forfood RM. Results show there is a clear need to develop CRM and RM for these matrices for other analytesof interest, such as chlorogenic acids and other phenolic compounds, which will provide reliablemeasurements.  aCamellia sinensis  aFood safety  aFood technology  aMetrology  aTheobroma  aTheobroma Cacao  aCoffee  aFood control1 aSANTOS, D.
