Red Bull Germany is having some problems. After trace amounts of cocaine were found in Red Bull Cola, the product is no longer being sold in six German states. After sample tests were completed on Friday, Red Bull Cola was pulled off shelves in Germany. In North Rhine-Westphalia state, 0.4 micrograms of the unlawful narcotic were discovered per litre. Other states banned Red Bull Cola citing concerns over narcotic law violations. I’m sure this cocaine energy drink fiasco will be resolved swiftly before Red Bull Cola is banned in Germany altogether.  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.
