Red Bull is one of the most marketable drink in many countries, MSN news says..
BERLIN - Six German states have told retailers to stop selling Red Bull Cola energy drinks after a test found a trace amount of cocaine.
The bans started Friday after a sample test conducted by authorities in North Rhine-Westphalia state found 0.4 micrograms per liter in the drink.
Five other states also banned it from shops amid concerns over possible narcotics law violations.
Germany's Federal Institute for Risk Assessment said Monday that the cocaine level was too low to pose a health risk. It planned to produce a more detailed report Wednesday.
Red Bull said its cola is "harmless and marketable in both the U.S. and Europe." It said similar coca leaf extracts are used worldwide as flavoring, and a test it commissioned itself found no cocaine traces.
can this be true? if same coca leaves are used for the extraction process. This is something to be taken into consideration by the people who use RED BULL COLA.
Is this really true tha?...

Dont diss Red Bull. It is by far the most awesome of all the drinks.
ReplyDeleteits true. it's about redbull cola, not the energy drink.
ReplyDeleteBetter shift to another energy drink. redbull, energy drink itself is banned in several countries because of its caffeine content. i wonder why its allowed in Maldives..
i can see why its awesome. caffeine is addictive. banning it will be a real issue.
