Red Bull marufuku Ujerumani

MAMLAKA za majimbo matano nchini Ujerumani zimepiga marufuku uuzwaji aa kinywaji cha RedBull kwa kuwa kina kiwango kidogo cha dawa za kulevya aina ya cocaine.

Kwa mujibu wa vyanzo vya habari hizi, idadi ya watu kwenye majimbo hayo ni sawa na nusu ya idadi ya watu nchini humo.

Miaka kadhaa iliyopita nchi za Ufaransa, Norway, na Denmark zilipiga marufuku matumizi ya kinywaji hicho kwa madai kuwa kina madhara kwa wanaokitumia ikiwa ni pamoja na kusababisha vifo.

Ufaransa ililazimika kuruhusu tena matumizi ya Red Bull kwa kuwa sheria za Umoja wa Ulaya(EU) zinazuia kupiga marufuku matumizi ya chakula ama kinywaji kama haijathibitika kuwa vina madhara.

HATA HIVYO, taarifa za wataalamu wa SUMU zinawashauri wanawake wajawazito wasinywe Red Bull kwa madai kuwa kinywaji hicho kinaweza kusabanisha mimba itoke

Mamlaka ya Chakula na Dawa Tanzania(TFDA) mpo?

Soma sehemu ya story kuhusu agizo hilo la kuzuia uuzwaji wa RedBull nchini Ujerumani.

– Regulators in the German states of Hesse and North-Rhine Westphalia banned the sale of Red Bull after finding traces of cocaine during tests, the Telegraph reports.

Levels of the chemical were not high enough to pose a health risk, but require the drink to be reclassified as a narcotic under German law.

A nationwide ban will likely follow.

The manufacturer of Red Bull has rejected the ban as baseless, claiming that “de-cocainized (sic) extract of coca leaf is used worldwide in foods as a natural flavoring,”

and pointed out that coca leaf extract is considered safe for use as an additive within the EU and the US.

Chanzo kingine kimeandika hivi:

RED Bull Cola has been taken off the shelves in Germany after inspectors found traces of COCAINE.

Coca leaf extracts in the drink tested positive for the Class A drug in routine food safety tests.

Officials said the cocaine levels were not a health risk — but the drug was banned in food.

Shops were told to stop selling the drink in five German states, which make up half the country’s population.

A nationwide ban was being considered yesterday.

But Red Bull insisted coca leaf was a safe flavouring and the drink should go back on sale.
