**[B]Red Bull Cola could be banned in Germany - after traces of cocaine are found in it By Alan Hall Last updated at 4:34 PM on 25th May 2009 Comments (0) Add to My Stories Germany is considering a nationwide ban on the high-energy drink Red Bull Cola after traces of cocaine were found in it.** Authorities in the states of Hesse and North-Rhine Westphalia have ordered retailers to stop selling the beverage - which is available in the UK. The consumer ministries in the two states confirmed they had ordered retailers to pull the drink off their shelves after a food safety institute in North-Rhine Westphalia found the drug in samples. ‘The institute examined Red Bull Cola in an elaborate chemical process and found traces of cocaine,’ said Bernhard Kuehnle, head of the food safety department at the federal ministry for consumer protection. Authorities said the cocaine levels do not pose a health threat but are not permitted in foodstuffs. The investigation found the drink to contain a de-cocainized extract of coca leaf in the drink. That means the drink cannot be classified as a foodstuff but as a narcotic and needs a special licence, authorities said. Giant German retail group Rewe had already issued orders to remove the fizzy drink from its shops. Wilhelm Deitermann, spokesman for the North-Rhine Westphalia consumer ministry said he expected most – if not all - other German states to follow suit and ban the drink. Red Bull Cola has protested the action. ‘De-cocainized extract of coca leaf is used worldwide in foods as a natural flavouring,’ said a spokesman. The company added that Red Bull Cola as well as other food that contains coca leaf extract is considered safe in the EU as well as in the US. The more popular Red Bull, dubbed the ‘clubbers’ drink,’ is often mixed with vodka. It contains caffeine, vitamins, and sugar which, the company claims, kick-starts the body’s metabolism and keeps people alert.[/B] > **[Red Bull Cola could be banned in Germany - after traces of cocaine are found in...](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1187275/Red-Bull-Cola-banned-Germany--traces-cocaine-it.html)** > > Germany is considering a nationwide ban on the high-energy drink Red Bull Cola after traces of cocaine were found in it. ---
