SFA Warns of 7 Drinks with Banned Medicinal Ingredients

Cans of Lake Como ‘Air’ Now Available for Tourists at €9.90

The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has issued a public advisory urging consumers to avoid seven drink products found to contain medicinal substances not approved for use in food. In a statement released on November 14, the agency identified the products as Berryshine Pure Enzyme Fiber with Prebiotics and six varieties of BUM Energy Drinks, which include Blue Snow Cone, Champion Mentality, Peach Mango, Cherry Frost, Citrus Burst, and Orange Sunrise.

These products were sold through various local e-commerce platforms.

The Berryshine Pure Enzyme Fiber with Prebiotics drink, marketed as a fibre enzyme supplement, was found to contain sennosides. This substance is a laxative commonly used to treat constipation and prepare the bowel for surgery. Side effects of sennosides include abdominal discomfort, cramps, and diarrhea. The product is labeled as a product of Singapore but was found to be manufactured in Malaysia.

Meanwhile, the BUM Energy Drinks were found to contain citicoline, a compound used in the treatment of stroke, traumatic brain injuries, and certain neurological disorders. Common side effects associated with citicoline include insomnia, headaches, dizziness, changes in blood pressure, and shortness of breath. These drinks, originally from the United States, are marketed as energy-boosting beverages but are not intended for regular food consumption due to their medicinal properties.

In response to the findings, the SFA has collaborated with e-commerce platforms to remove the listings for these products and instructed sellers to cease their sale immediately.

Consumers who have purchased or consumed these drinks are advised to seek medical attention if they experience any health concerns. The SFA also reminded the public to exercise caution when purchasing food products from unknown or unverified sources.
