Red Bull has hit back at claims recently made in Asia that Red Bull Energy Drink has traces of cocaine in it. Recently a German authority had raised concerns regarding the use of de-cocainized coca leaf extract in Red Bull Simply Cola. And this may be where the idea that cocaine can be found in the companies mainstay energy drink arose. However the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) later publicly confirmed that there is no risk to human health or any other undesired pharmacological effects associated with Red Bull Simply Cola. "It would have been absolutely impossible for Asian (or any other) authorities to have found traces of cocaine in Red Bull Energy Drink. We believe that Asian authorities mistakenly applied concerns about Red Bull Simply Cola to Red Bull Energy Drink, a completely different product with an entirely different formula. Nevertheless, we had Red Bull Energy Drink product samples from Asia analyzed by an independent and accredited institute and confirmed that Red Bull Energy Drink does not contain any cocaine," reads a statement from Red Bull.
