Cocaine Found in Red Bull Cola Energy Drinks
Six German states have ordered retailers to stop selling Red Bull after a test revealed that the energy drink contains a trace amount of cocaine.
The bans started Friday after a sample test conducted by the German food authorities found 0.4 micrograms of cocaine per litre.
Red Bull, however, insists that its cola is "harmless and marketable in both the U.S. and Europe." Coca leaves are used as a flavoring agent only after removing the illegal cocaine alkaloid, said a Red Bull spokesman.
Germany's Federal Institute for Risk Assessment said Monday that the cocaine level was too low to pose a health risk. A more detailed report will be produced Wednesday.
Red Bull is already banned in Norway, Denmark and Uruguay because of health fears.
