Serious Health Risks: Government Recalls Popular Energy Drinks

Do not consume, use, sell, serve, or distribute recalled products. Such energy drinks were recalled by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) due to non-permitted ingredients that may pose a serious health risk.

At this time, it’s not clear if the same warning is being implemented in other countries, but it could be expected.

Such energy drinks are popular specifically in North America among young people, in educational institutions, and among tourists.
