Interdiction de Red Bull en Allemagne et en Jordanie

Six États allemands on obligés aux détaillants de retirer Red Bull Cola des rayonnages, après l’apparition d’une étude qui montre que la boisson contient des traces de cocaïne.

Red Bull a protesté contre la décision et affirme que l’extrait de feuilles de coca qui est utilisée pour améliorer la saveur est totalement sûre et sans danger. Kuehnle Bernhard, responsable de la sécurité alimentaire au département du ministère fédéral confirme que "il n'y a pas de danger", toutefois les législateurs locaux voient la boisson comme un stupéfiant au lieu d'un produit alimentaire. Les 13 autres états Allemands devraient bientôt aussi interdire la vente de la boisson.

Une canette de Red Bull Cola contient environ 0,4 microgrammes de cocaïne. (Un microgramme est un millionième de gramme). Avant que la boisson peut être considérée comme nuisibles, 100.000 litres devrait être consommée.

En Jordanie, les autorités ne prennent aucun risque. Selon le Jordan Times tous les produits de Red Bull ont été retirés du marché et l'importation de boissons à la caféine a été suspendue. Le président de l'Association toxicologues jordanienne dit "boire de la boisson énergétique à la cocaïne est très dangereux si il est pris avec de l'alcool ou des stupéfiants". Une autre citation "ridicule" provient du directeur du Centre national pour la réadaptation, qui a dit que "toute quantité de cocaïne résulte dans de l'utilisation abusive ou dans de la dépendance."

I didn't know redbull had coca leaves in it.
For one, i think it's red bull's fault for not printing it on the can, i mean, you should know what you're consuming...

“drinking the energy drink with cocaine is very dangerous if it is taken with alcohol or narcotics”
should be:“drinking alcohol is very dangerous if it is taken with energydrink or narcotics”

“any quantity of cocaine results in misuse or addiction”.
UHHHH any quantity of everything can end up in misuse or addiction, i mean, humans are creatures of habit, everything we like, we would like to do it as much as we want, because we like it. (until we hate it...)

Goddamn corrupt politicians and toxicologists, doesn't anyone work for better of mankind anymore? is all about money and bribes?.....

Much as I oppose drug criminalization in general, this I believe is a good thing. Frankly, whether this has to do with any microscopic traces of cocaine or merely the insanely high caffeine and sugar levels, Red Bull typically is consumed as a kind of legal crank, not unlike the original Coca Cola. Again, it is not surprising that our society criminalizes psychoactive plants, yet drugs of the “upper” variety – alcohol, nicotine and particularly caffeine - are readily available, often provided for ‘free,” even, e.g. by employers.

Crank makes people more aggressively one-dimensional; obedient workers, soldiers and shoppers, without all the human complexities hampering productivity. It gives the user a feeling of increased energy, at the expense of brain functionality. I don’t know, it’s not as if I don’t enjoy a good cup of coffee myself, but the whole Red Bull craze is beyond my capacity for comprehension. I see young “urban” youths walking around with their little energy drinks all the time, looking all shady eyed, and they probably go through a dozen of the damn things a day. They are typically complete degenerates, incapable of holding an idea in their mind for more than a second. They are, in a word, the ideal future employees of McDonalds.

This reminds me of the spice thingy - you buy some shit, which is supposed to be legal, but contains various other nutritients/ingredients than listed on the label/packaging. It's just stupid. Assuming Red Bull doesn't contain any illegal substances, they made a fault that would harm their name/image. There would be no problem at all, when just listing the real ingredients...

I think many mothers are going to ban Red Bull from their household, if they`d read this news...

@Andrey, f*** off, exploits won't work, and it's just stupid to try!

@Don Jia, your story makes sense, lots of it. Thank you for answering some of the questions I've had for a time now. Thank you for being sharp 'n awake ;)

this ban is about "red bull COLA", not about normal red bull. on the ingredients list of this cola are cocaleaves. it`s no secret for people who can read...
to get to a dose that is working somehow,
you would have to drink 100.000 liters of it,
as far as they said in tv...
a poppyseed roll is much closer to a psychotropic effect with its morphinetraces in it. allthought its nothing to worry about.
by the way, german wikipedia says:"even today coca-cola contains ingredients of cocaleaves (but not the alkaloids)."
i guess its a conspiracy of red bull colas rival, who wants all the money from the cola market. or maybe its just stupidity?
whatever?!? i like red bull cola because it contains things like cinnamon, mustardseeds and alot of other spices. seems to be quite natural compared to other recipes.

When the Coca cola ban? I think there's may be 0,001 micrograms of cocaine into it. Very addictive.

Je vois pas l'intéret de supprimer le red bull, sachant qu'il y aurait de la cocaine dedans, c'est aux gens de décider de prendre le risque d'en acheter ou pas...
