The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced it will be recalling six brands of energy drinks for non-compliance related to caffeine content and labelling requirements.
The recall includes the brand Prime Energy, which the United States Food and Drug Agency has been encouraged to investigate.
“In Canada, Prime Energy is considered to be a supplemented food and is subject to the regulations for supplemented foods,” said Marie-Pier Burelle, media relations advisor for the communications and public affairs branch of Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada.
“Under these regulations, energy drinks must not contain more than 180 mg of caffeine in a single-serving container and require cautionary statements to protect sensitive sub-populations, including children. Prime Energy exceeds the acceptable caffeine limit. As a result, it should not be sold in Canada,” she told The Epoch Times….
