Red Bull is being banned from shelves in Germany after testing found traces of cocaine in the product.

Six German states are pulling the energy drink after a “sample test conducted by authorities in North Rhine-Westphalia state found 0.4 micrograms per liter in the drink.”

Red Bull is fighting back saying that it’s product is “harmless and marketable in both the U.S. and Europe.”

A coca leaf extract is used to flavor the beverage. The cocaine levels are extremely low and officials say Red Bull should not pose a health risk but may violate the country’s narcotics laws.

Well, no wonder Lindsay Lohan loves her Red Bull! It’s all making sense to me now.

Heh.
