After 12 years of being banned for Taurine, Red Bull has finally been allowed in France. There was no proof that taurine was harmful - and citing a rule that European countries can not bad something unless it is proven to be harmful, the country had no choice but to allow the original formula of red Bull to fly off the shelves.
France had allowed Red Bull to be sold without affecting caffeine content, only substituting arganine for taurine. The French health authority could not find any proof that Red Bull was unhealthy, but had remained skeptical. "The agency considered that the safety of use was not guaranteed. In addition, the nutritional value could not be demonstrated."
France's health minister Roselyne Bachelot, who has "serious reservations" about Red Bull, asked that it be kept under surveillance, and the French warned of possible side-effects. The austrian beverage company agreed, stating that there are warning on the can to not be consumed by kids and pregnant women.
The ban happened years ago in many other countries, but then lifted. Switzerland lifted their ban of Red Bull in 1994, and Finland in 2005.Norway,Malasia, Uruguay,Denmark and Iceland still ban the drink, citing the high caffeine level, even though there is barely more caffeine in Red Bull than a single shot of espresso.
