在台灣當局查扣近1萬8000箱紅牛飲料幾天後，香港官員檢驗發現此熱門能量飲料中有微量古柯鹼。
食品安全中心官員指出，實驗室檢驗發現在「紅牛可樂」（Red Bull Cola）、「紅牛無糖飲料」（RedBull Sugar-free）及「紅牛能量飲料」（Red BullEnergy Drink）樣本中含有微量古柯鹼。
發言人昨晚發出的聲明中指出，上述飲料已自主要超市下架，並指出，該飲料古柯鹼含量對健康危害很低。
香港禁毒專員黃碧兒指出，香港政府目前針對進口商及零售商可能涉及的法律責任，聽取法律見解。
她在聲明中指出：「古柯鹼是危險毒品，任何持有及交易都屬違法。」
紅牛飲料發言人未立即對此發表評論。

But honestly, i think there may be sthy wrong abt the lab test result...it's nearly impossible to use cocaine, as only cocaine free coca leaf extract can be used nowsdays....
Wiki on Coca — Cocaine
After 1904, instead of using fresh leaves, "spent" leaves are using —the leftovers of the cocaine-extraction process with cocaine trace levels left over at a molecular level. To this day, Company like Coca-Cola uses as an ingredient a cocaine-free coca leaf extract prepared at a Stepan Company plant in Maywood, New Jersey.

In the United States, Stepan Company is the only manufacturing plant authorized by the Federal Government to import and process the coca plant. Stepan laboratory in Maywood, New Jersey is the nation's only legal commercial importer of coca leaves, which it obtains mainly from Peru and, to a lesser extent, Bolivia. Besides producing the coca flavoring agent for Coca-Cola, Stepan Company extracts cocaine from the coca leaves, which it sells to Mallinckrodt, a St. Louis, Missouri pharmaceutical manufacturer that is the only company in the United States licensed to purify cocaine for medicinal use. Stepan
Company buys about 100 metric tons of dried Peruvian coca leaves each
year, according to Marco Castillo, spokesman for Peru's state-owned
National Coca Co.
