Red Bull tank ingredient list was found to be inconsistent with the approval. Yesterday, the legal channel of Heilongjiang TV reported that Harbin Food and Drug Administration found during the inspection of Red Bull, the Red Bull Beverage Tank ingredient list and the food additive labeling and related document approvals. Inconsistent, the ingredients contained many problems such as rouge that the country does not allow for use in vitamin functional drinks.

According to the report, the reporter found that the Red Bull vitamin functional beverage cans were labeled with the addition of six additives: citric acid, sodium citrate, caffeine, ammonium benzoate, carmine, lemon yellow, but the national food and drug supervision and management The Bureau's website has shown that there are no sodium benzoate, carmine and other ingredients in the approval of Red Bull.

The sodium benzoate that did not appear in the State Food and Drug Administration's filing list was believed to have an effect on caffeine in the report, resulting in the creation of a state-level psychoactive drug called Annaca (also known as "sodium benzoate").

Follow Red Bull

The low content does not have side effects. The reporter contacted Red Bull's relevant responsible person several times in the morning, but the phone was not answered by anyone or it was hung up, and there was no reply from the message. As of press time, Red Bull still has no official announcement. However, according to informed sources, Red Bull Beijing has set off for Harbin to investigate the matter.

In yesterday’s media report, Mr. Liang of the Red Bull Consumer Service Center stated that some of the additives in the tank labeling dosing form did not appear in the relevant department’s record. This was because the SFDA was “incomplete”.

As for the reaction of caffeine and sodium benzoate to produce controlled substances, Mr. Leung said that its content is very low and “will not react in our drinks, and will not produce pharmacological effects on the human body”.

Connection

Local test results will be issued within half a month. The reporter telephoned the first branch of the Harbin Food and Drug Administration.

The director of the Bureau said that the sample had been sent to the testing agency. For the Red Bull incident, the bureau would not respond or comment on the incident before the inspection results came out.

Expert statement

The risk of mixing the two components is higher According to Heilongjiang reporter's survey, each 100 grams of Red Bull, containing 0.188 grams of sodium benzoate, 0.192 grams of caffeine, the ratio is close to 1:1.

For this ratio, this morning, the director of the Beijing Scientific Research Office of Huilongguan Hospital, Tan Yunlong, said that sodium benzoate was not obtained through synthesis and did not undergo complex chemical reactions, but only when the ratio of the two drugs was close to 1:1. Sodium benzoate caffeine will form.

Under this circumstance, sodium benzoate will strongly promote the absorption of caffeine and produce excitatory effects. It is a state-controlled psychotropic drug and can even be called a drug because of its side effects.

Director Tan said that although the use of sodium benzoate and caffeine alone is not hazardous, the ratio of red to cow's drinks is close to 1 to 1, and the risk factor is larger.

Yesterday, the person in charge of the food and drug supervision department in Harbin stated to the public that there were serious problems in the labeling of Red Bull beverages, which were inconsistent with the national approvals, implementation standards and product inconsistencies.

At the same time, the emergence of two components of caffeine and sodium benzoate in Red Bull vitamin functional drinks also raises questions about whether the two components together will have adverse effects on the human body.

It entered China in 1995 and looked at the huge space in the Chinese consumer market. It vigorously explored the Chinese market, and for a time, it was refreshing and refreshing. "Supplemental strength", "Thirsty drinking Red Bull, sleepy, tired, but also to drink Red Bull" advertising slogans overwhelming. However, not all Red Bull drinks in overseas markets have the same formula. For example: The European and American version of Red Bull is a carbonated soft drink.
