FDA to Ban CABs, says Senator Schumer
Dear Client:
New York Senator Charles Schumer announced on his website that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will rule “that caffeine is an unsafe food additive to alcoholic beverages, effectively making products such as Four Loko, Joose, and others like them, prohibited for sale in the United States.”
According to the statement, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) plans to notify manufacturers of caffeinated alcoholic beverages “that they are engaged in the potential illegal marketing of unsafe alcoholic drinks.”
Stay tuned as this story develops…
Until tomorrow, Harry
